The club's record signing was absent for the 1-1 draw against Bournemouth recently after picking up a knock on international duty.

He has yet to return to team training with the Blues, but Pochettino has revealed that he will be offered sufficient time to prove his fitness.

Caicedo is expected to report for full training tomorrow and he will be assessed to find out whether he is ready for Sunday's encounter.

The Blues are currently languishing in the 14th spot in the Premier League table, having picked up only five points from as many games.

This has included two draws, two defeats and just one victory. Their only win came over Luton Town, who are bottom with zero points.

Chelsea face a tough challenge against the Villans, who are one of the best scoring sides in the division. They will be eyeing a win too.
