Aston Villa vs Chelsea prediction, odds and betting offer
Aston Villa will be looking to turn their draws into wins as they welcome an inconsistent Chelsea side who are dropping down the Premier League table
by Tom Phillips · The MirrorAs we head into the weekend's football frenzy, all eyes are on Villa who, with a victory over Chelsea, could edge closer to Enzo Maresca's squad in the league standings.
Currently sitting in ninth place, Unai Emery's team is a mere five points adrift of Man City in the fourth spot. Their home ground has also proved to be a fortress, with only one league defeat recorded this season.
The gap to the top could have been even narrower following a nail-biting showdown at Villa Park recently. In an encounter that saw Villa both trailing and leading Liverpool, they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate.
The game could have taken a different turn had Donyell Malen's final strike not veered slightly off target. Nonetheless, Villa enters the upcoming match with form deceiving their performances on the pitch.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is not faring as well but not too long ago, they were elbowing their way into the title race. However, now they risk falling out of the top six if they suffer a defeat on Saturday night.
Their recent form leaves much to be desired - three losses in their last four matches across all competitions and just two victories from their last nine league games. The upcoming match against Villa could indeed prove pivotal for Chelsea's standing in the league.
