Both Villa and the Rams have been grateful recipients of Chelsea’s loan army.At Villa, Tammy Abraham has been a revelation – scoring 26 league goals despite missing the first seven games of the season.The 21-year-old striker led from the front as Villa went on a run of ten consecutive wins to qualify for the play-offs. He then stepped up for two crucial penalties during the semi-final victory over West Brom, scoring from the spot at Villa Park before converting the decisive kick in the shootout at the Hawthorns.With Chelsea’s ongoing woes up front and their well-documented transfer ban, eyes will be fixed on Abraham when he graces the Wembley turf.But fans will be more interested in Derby, who could line up with two Chelsea loanees and a Blues legend, under a potential future manager at Stamford Bridge.Mount received his first senior England call-up earlier this seasonGETTY5
