Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa repeat against Chelsea?
An unexpected but most welcome 2-1 win away from home at Tottenham last time out in the Premier League handed Aston Villa all three points and also ended a three-match run without a win in the top flight and they’ll be looking to topple another London club on Sunday afternoon.
However, wins in the top flight in recent times have been sporadic for Aston Villa who have picked up previous wins against Fulham at home and Everton away but in between times, the west midlands club have also lost to Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
At Villa Park, the hosts have managed to win just one of their last eight matches but overall results at home haven’t been too bad as Villa have lost by 2 goals or more in just four of their 18 matches played to date amidst a record of 6-4-8 27/26.
Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea make sure?
Although they currently occupy 3rd place in the Premier League, Sunday’s visitors, Chelsea, still need to win at Villa Park against Aston Villa to make absolutely sure of a top four finish and a place in next season’s Champions League.
Only one point separates Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City heading into the final day of the season but Chelsea have been in good form of late as The Blues have lost just one of their last seven matches overall, which was to London rivals, Arsenal.
Chelsea are also unbeaten in their last eight matches on their travels as well, which includes six wins but only one of these recent wins have been by a 2-goal margin or higher (Crystal Palace 4-1 in mid-April).
