Bertrand Traore has spoken of his excitement at returning to Stamford Bridge with Aston Villa today.

The Burkina Faso international gave Aston Villa a fifth-minute lead in the Boxing Day win over Crystal Palace.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Traore said: “I can’t wait to be back there and to play against Chelsea. I think it’s going to be nice.

“I know a couple of players over there that I’ve played with. It will be nice to see them again. It will be a bit strange there without the fans.

“It’s going to be a tough game. Chelsea is an opponent that have a lot of quality in their team.

“These kinds of games, we just have to enjoy it, play to our fullest and fight for the three points.”
