Gary
Cahill is looking forward to facing Aston Villa with Chelsea on Saturday but
will put his memories to one side for 90 minutes as he looks to engineer
another win for the Premier League leaders.
Cahill has already seen off one of his former employers this week, after the
Blues beat Bolton 2-1 to reach the last 16 of the Capital One Cup on
Wednesday.
And now he turns his attention to Villa, the side with whom he began his
Premier League career 10 years ago.
"I had a great time at Villa, more than anything with the youth team,"
Cahill told the club's official website.
"I owe a lot to them, they brought me through and I had a great time, so I'm
looking forward to it.
"They've had a great start to the season, apart from their last result (a
3-0 defeat by Arsenal), so it's going to be another tough test for us."
Villa are three points behind Chelsea in third place going into the weekend
fixtures and Cahill hopes his side's positive start to the season will
continue at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
"It's great to have a winning mentality," he added.
"If you have a couple of sticky results it puts the pressure on going into
games but at the moment we're unbeaten, we're going well and we should have
confidence, especially playing in front of our own fans at Stamford Bridge."
