Aston Villa vs Chelsea Preview

Falling behind in the Premier League title race due to some underwhelming recent results, Chelsea will look to bounce back when visiting Aston Villa at Villa Park on Boxing Day.

The Blues will begin the day six points in arrears of Manchester City due to only one of their last four EPL matches resulting in victory.

That streak includes a 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton at the Molineux last time out, marking the first time Chelsea has failed to score in 17 matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa has been on an upward trajectory since Steven Gerrard took over as manager; the Villains’ latest 2-0 victory at Norwich marked their fourth triumph in six EPL matches.

These clubs have met twice previously this season, seeing Chelsea first claim a 3-0 win in the league behind Romelu Lukaku’s double, then a penalty shootout victory in the EFL Cup Third Round.
