Aston Villa vs Chelsea Prediction & Tips
After a surprising 2-0 defeat to Wolverhampton, a team that is a clear candidate for relegation, Aston Villa’s Premier League title aspirations have virtually vanished. The Villans have only ten games left to secure their place in the UCL and go into this matchday with just a three-point lead over fifth place and six points over their rivals Chelsea, so the pressure is on.
Chelsea’s chances of qualifying for the UCL have suffered another setback after losing to Arsenal, extending their winless streak in the league to three games (two draws, one defeat). Liam Rosenior may have some leeway, as it was their first defeat in the Premier League after seven games (four wins, two draws), but now he is looking for an immediate response against a direct rival. His first objective will be to correct his team’s indiscipline, as Chelsea have had a player sent off in each of their last two games and remain bottom of the “fair play table” (65 yellow cards, seven red cards).
