Chelsea Preview – Can Chelsea stage recovery?
Monday night’s hosts, Chelsea, will head into this important clash against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on the back of three defeats out of their last four matches overall in the Premier League which has seen Frank Lampard’s side drop out of the top six.
Losses to Everton, Wolves and their London clash with Arsenal resulting in a heavy 3-1 defeat at the Emirates Stadium suggests that Chelsea still have a lot to prove if they’re to be considered as a regular occupant in the top five of the English top flight.
However, despite losing their first home game of the season 2-0 to Liverpool, Chelsea have put together a six-match unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge which includes four wins and two draws but while there’s still question marks over Chelsea’s consistency, the goals market appeals here as five of Chelsea’s seven matches at home have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa win three on trot?
Following recent back-to-back wins against West Brom 3-0 away from home and their Boxing Day 3-0 home win over Crystal Palace, Monday night’s visitors, Aston Villa, may well fancy their chances of picking up a third league win on the trot in the nation’s capital.
However, the west midlands club will be up against a strong Chelsea side on home turf and they’re expected to give Aston Villa a tough examination at Stamford Bridge, but Villa possess a strong away record too so far this season with a record of 5-0-1 12/2.
Wins recorded at Fulham, Leicester City, Arsenal, Wolves and West Brom have been impressive results for the visitors while four of Villa’s six away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals as well.
