Aston Villa and Chelsea will face off for the second time this season in English Premier League action on Saturday. The Blues won the reverse fixture 3-0 and are hoping for similar luck after sustaining a 3-0 loss to Brighton their last time out.

Aston Villa face Chelsea in the Premier League ’s late kick-off today, with both sides still firmly in the hunt for Champions League football. While Villa’s draw to Liverpool in midweek was a good result, it left Unai Emery ’s side in ninth with 39 points, four below Chelsea and five off fourth-placed Manchester City.

Chelsea's form has been pretty rotten recently and their manager, Enzo Maresca, also needs a strong finish to the season. It doesn't help that Cole Palmer has lost his mojo, on top of their issues at centre-forward and in goal.
