Chelsea – Aston Villa

Chelsea are set to square off against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel’s Blues have not dwindled since a triumphant season last time out, having secured two wins and a draw from their opening three outings. A hard-fought 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield with 10 men for more than half the game proved testament to the lionhearted spirit within the Chelsea camp.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith’s troops have claimed four points. After a shock defeat against newly-promoted Watford on the opening day, they have steadied the ship with a win against Newcastle and an engaging draw with Brentford.

Since their first-ever fixture in 1907, the pair have played a total of 157 matches against each other. The Blues have triumphed 64 times and lost on 58 occasions. All seven of Chelsea’s goals this season have been netted by different scorers, which only underpins the quality and versatility inherent in this team. Our prediction is for a home win.
