Aston Villa return after the international break for a lesson in taking chances at Stamford Bridge, in a game that saw Villa impress until it came to actually scoring.

The Argentine international situation is ultimately a shame for Aston Villa, as Dean Smith would have been able to pick a relatively full-strength team.

Unless you were on this earth in 1966 you'd have never seen England win a major tournament semi-final. You'd probably never seen a player 'subbed subbed' in a semi-final either.
