Aston Villa, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Nottingham Forest, who had 6 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Villa Park. Steven Gerrard will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Chelsea, Recent FormIn their last match Chelsea enforced their superiority over Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 3-0 home win. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Wolverhampton Wanderers' tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Graham Potter will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Raheem Sterling will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Chelsea.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-3 win for Chelsea.
The Aston Villa defence has struggled against The Blues in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 games. The Villans have struggled to keep Chelsea at bay when these two teams have met at Villa Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Chelsea in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Aston Villa has lost the last 2 times they've faced Chelsea in the league.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ludwig Augustinsson (Hamstring), Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon), Lucas Digne (Ankle) and Boubacar Kamara (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Wesley Fofana (Knee) and N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Graham Potter will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
