That loss must have done some damages to the team’s confidence and morale as they were defeated yet again, this time by the lowly West Ham. They were second-best throughout the course of the game as the Hammers gave them a run for their money.

Now, the Blues are in a precarious situation, in need of a win and will be forced to clinch maximum points this Wednesday at any cost.
Given that the visitors held Manchester United to a draw last time out, they will take confidence from this as they head out of the Stamford Bridge tunnel tomorrow night, and will be looking to salvage something from this match.

Expect an entertaining and exciting Premier League fixture between these two very good sides, as both teams battle for bragging rights.

Following the disappointing loss to Man City, the Blues attempted to bounce back to winning ways last time out on this same ground against West Ham but were dealt a major blow. The visitors recorded a narrow 1-0 win to pile on the misery at the Bridge.

Chelsea’s days in the top-four of the standings are numbered, as the home side are now under intense pressure from the likes of Spurs and Wolves, who are looking to break into those Champions League spots.

As such, consider that the situation almost demands a mandatory win from the Blues. With their top-four status being threatened, a win on home turf against this opposition will surely lift some pressure off Frank Lampard’s shoulders.

Surely, momentum is within their courts, given that they have the home advantage and will be playing in front of the home crowd. The prospect of playing against a newly-promoted Aston Villa side who are much lower in stature is an added benefit for Chelsea.

Aston Villa pulled off a major upset on the last match-day, holding off a star-studded Manchester United side to a 2-2 draw. Jack Grealish was the cream of the crop for the Lions, and the club must have fielded lots of calls from elite European clubs for a potential transfer following his display against the Red Devils.

However, they should not be overly carried away by that draw considering that this same United team were beaten in their last Europa League fixture against lowly Astana. United have been completely underwhelming so far this season and their 9^th spot on the standings just about confirms that.

Villa are winless in their last three matches on the road this season and have conceded twice or more in all three. They are placed 15^th on the log, registering a single win from their past five fixtures, whereas their opponents are comfortably placed in the Champions League zone, and have clearly been one of the best teams in the league as well.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Chelsea: Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley.

Aston Villa: Keinan Davis, Jed Steer, Frederic Guilbert.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Predictions

Taking into consideration the sheer talent within Chelsea’s ranks, home advantage and their superiority in h2h encounters, they have got to be considered huge favourites for this one. They will fancy grabbing all three points here, given they are on a two-game losing streak at the moment.

Villa, on the other hand, will set their sights on causing another upset against one of Premier League’s giants but will have their work cut-out in order to achieve this. They certainly have what it takes to give Chelsea a game here and with Grealish in impressive form, the visitors cannot be totally ruled out.

The home side will likely edge this one out by a narrow margin but expect both sides to find the back of the net at the end of ninety minutes.
