And that's it from Thomas Tuchel. Thanks for joining us.
Finally, Tuchel is asked who he thinks will score more out of Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Blues boss says he "couldn't care less" as long as the Chelsea striker keeps delivering.
Tuchel says Hudson-Odoi needs to produce in games what he can in training and that he can play at right wing-back despite it not being his preferred position.
On Hudson-Odoi, Tuchel says it was not a difficult decision not to let him leave on loan at that he can play in a number of positions. "There was no chance to say yes," Tuchel says. "It was simply impossible."
Tuchel says it was a "hard decision" to take Saul at half-time but admits the midfielder "struggled" with the intensity of Villa's pressing. He adds that Jorginho was needed in midfield and hopes Saul understands. Tuchel says he decided to take him off rather than see him lose more confidence.
Tuchel says Lukaku made a big difference for Chelsea this evening and showed he can score and wants to help the team. "He adds something to the group we did not have in this capacity so far," the German added.
Tuchel has arrived. Here we go.
