Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa’s winless run in the Premier League continues as the Villains come into this weekend’s game on the back of a five-match winless streak in the Premier League. The Villains have now played two consecutive draws at Villa Park in the league after they were held 1-1 by Ipswich Town at Villa Park last weekend and then had a 2-2 draw with league leaders Liverpool at Villa Park in the midweek. There will be growing frustration at Villa Park as the Villains fans will be eager for their side to get back on track in their hope of returning to European competitions. Currently, the Villains sit ninth in the Premier League standings with 39 points from 26 games, four points behind a European spot.
Unai Emery’s side has now made Villa Park a fortress for opponents, having lost just once in the Premier League this season and having remained undefeated in the last 13 league games. However, the Villains’ defense has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last six home matches.
Chelsea Preview & Form
Chelsea are currently struggling with form of late, with Enzo Maresca’s side having just two wins across the last nine league fixtures, leading to growing pressure from the Blues fans. Recently, the Blues suffered back-to-back defeats against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium. They were beaten 2-1 in the FA Cup fourth round and then suffered a 3-0 defeat last weekend in the league, with Maresca labeling the defeat as the worst of the season so far after they failed to register a shot on target in the game. The Blues will be hoping to respond with a big performance away to Aston Villa. Enzo Maresca’s side has fallen out of the Premier League top four following the bad run of results as they currently sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 43 points, a point behind the top four.
Enzo Maresca’s men have struggled with their recent away games across all competitions, having gone five consecutive games without a win, losing three, and playing two draws.
