Chelsea v Aston Villa: Preview and Predictions

Aston Villa’s visit to Chelsea will be a big occasion for the midlands side.  A good performance against the European Champions is exactly the sort of thing a team that’s struggled this season needs heading into the Christmas fixture list.

          Aston Villa have often been able to match Chelsea’s performances in the Premier League and fixtures between the two teams have often been high scoring affairs: 3-3, 7-1 and 4-4 scorelines have been recent results betweent he two teams.

         Chelsea have played more fixtures than any other Premier League team in the last few weeks, so Villa could find some weaknesses to expose if Chelsea don’t make a quick start to the game.

          We expect a Chelsea win, but this could easily be the upset of the weekend – especially when you consider Aston Villa’s last result at Anfield.
