Aston Villa v Chelsea Preview
Aston Villa’s Form
Aston Villa under Unai Emery have become one of the most consistent sides around for both their Domestic and European form Last season they qualified for this competition by finishing 4th in the league and a Conference League Semi-Final. They’ve balanced both Domestic and European commitments well so far this season especially considering they had a net spend of €-32.50m during the summer window.
It’s been a positive season for Villa for the most part with the side for the most part with the highlight being their Champions League performances which saw them earn sixteen points from their eight games to get the final automatic slot for the Round of 16 stage. Though their form in recent weeks has been less consistent their 2-2 draw against Liverpool last weekend shows they’re a match to any team on their day.
While they’re winless in their last five league games a win here could see them climb up to 7th in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s Form
Chelsea had a strange 23/24 season reaching the EFL Cup Final, and FA Cup Semi-Final and finishing 6th but Pochettino was removed and replaced by Enzo Maresca who was backed to the tune of close to £250 million in the summer. 24/25 has started well though and they look well positioned to challenge for Europe this season as well as in the cup competitions.
Following a strong start to their season particularly in the League they’ve petered off recently with four defeats, three draws and only two wins in their last nine league games. They’ve also been knocked out of both the EFL Cup and FA Cup their last chance of silverware is now the Conference League where they topped the initial league phase with a perfect six wins from six games.
A win in this game could see them rise back up to 4th place.

Key Players To Watch
Marcus Rashford - Aston Villa
There’s very little to say that hasn’t been said when it comes to Marcus Rashford (27) both in a positive and negative sense. However, the one thing that can’t be dismissed is despite his clear talent, his stock has fallen considerably, which is why he was sent to Aston Villa on loan.
There have been glimpses of the “Marcus Rashford of old” at Villa, especially in his cameo against Ipswich a few weeks ago. But it’s abundantly clear that he is a player severely lacking in confidence now even if the talent remains. He is priced at 8/1 to score first or 9/4 to score at any point in this game.
Rashford any time goal - 9/4
Cole Palmer - Chelsea
Cole Palmer in his debut season for Chelsea was sensational scoring 27 goals and providing 15 assists from 48 games in all competitions.
Palmer is a throwback player who entertains and plays with freedom a refreshing change to the usual regimented tactical robots often found playing football now. This season he has 14 goals and 6 assists in 28 games though he is without a goal contribution in his last 5 matches. He is priced at 5/1 to score first and 7/5 to score anytime against his former club.
Cole Palmer first goal - 5/1
Aston Villa v Chelsea Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Chelsea
Villa’s rise under Unai Emery has broken the “Big Six” monopoly and even with European commitments they remain contenders for another strong league finish this season.
Chelsea are a strange club, but I believe they’re far closer to success than people give them credit for and could be a force in a few seasons.
Two solid sides that have had a relative downturn in their results recently. I can see this being a draw.
Best Bet: Draw @ 11/4
Draw - 11/4
