Chelsea unbeaten in last five matches, eyeing 2nd place.
Aston Villa winless in seven.
Recent fixtures between both teams ended 2-2.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa will be aiming to stem the tide of poor results as they travel to Chelsea for a Premier League match on Sunday.

Chelsea have the chance to rise to second in the table and will be keen to maintain their recent good form. Both teams have good quality in attack and goals look like certainty in this one.

Chelsea Form

It is a testament to how Chelsea are doing under Enzo Maresca that they have the chance to go second in the table if results go their way. The Blues are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions and claimed a 2-1 win at Leicester City last time out in the Premier League before a 2-0 victory at Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League.

Chelsea have played exciting attacking football this season and are scoring goals, with Nicolas Jackson looking particularly prolific. However, they often struggled to keep things tight at the back and have conceded in their last seven Premier League matches.

Aston Villa Form

Things appear to have gone downhill for Aston Villa as they struggle to find their early season form. Unai Emery’s team are winless in their last seven matches across all competitions. However, the last two fixtures have ended in draws, playing 2-2 with Crystal Palace before a 0-0 scoreline with Juventus in the UEFA Champions League.

Aston Villa may have kept a clean sheet against Juventus, but defending has been one of their problems this season. They have conceded in their last five Premier League matches, with three of those fixtures producing over 3.5 goals.

Head to Head

Recent meetings between Chelsea and Aston Villa have been evenly split with both teams claiming three wins each and two draws. The last fixture ended in a 2-2 draw back in April.

Verdict

Chelsea v Aston Villa

While Chelsea and Aston Villa teams are showing contrasting form at the moment, they seem to have similar weaknesses. Neither team has looked solid at the back lately and having produced over 3.5 goals in their last two meetings, a repeat could be on the cards.

Nicolas Jackson seems to be calmer in front of goal this season and has certainly improved his output. With five goals in his last eight Premier League matches and with the creativity of Cole Palmer, the striker can be backed to get on the score sheet.
