Chelsea will be looking to turn their form around this weekend against an Aston Villa side who have struggled to convert performances into wins of late. Currently in ninth place, Villa, managed by Unai Emery, is just five points shy of Manchester City, who hold the fourth position. Villa Park has been a stronghold for the team this season, with only one league defeat on home turf.
The bookies are expecting a tight-knit contest with CopyBet unable to price them a part with both the Blues and Villans priced at 31/20 to win it while a draw is going for 13/5. The visitors have picked up seven wins in their last 11 trips to Villa Park in the Premier League – adds woes to the hosts current form who have failed to win in their last five.
The recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Villa Park was a thrilling contest that could have seen Villa closer to the top if not for some missed opportunities. Donyell Malen’s near-miss in the dying moments was particularly pivotal, as it could have turned the draw into a victory. Despite this, Villa’s current form suggests they are performing better than their results might indicate.
Chelsea faces its own challenges as they prepare to meet Villa. Once contenders in the title race, they now risk slipping out of the top six with a loss on Saturday night. Their recent performance has been lacklustre, with three defeats in their last four outings across all competitions and only two wins from their last nine league matches. The outcome of this match could be crucial for Chelsea’s aspirations this season.
