Aston Villa – Chelsea Preview

Aston Villa hosts Chelsea at the Villa Park in Birmingham in a match from the 26th round of the Premier League. Keep up with us because we will offer you a preview for this clash in our free soccer predictions for today.

It is a tough moment for Aston Villa. Unai Emery’s team is without a win in its last five matches in the league – something that happens for a first time this season. On Wednesday night the Villans faced Liverpool at home in a rescheduled match, but only got a point after a 2-2 draw at the Villa Park. Tielemans and Watkins scored for the hosts, but Liverpool equalised in the second half.

Aston Villa’s manager Unai Emery left Donyell Malen on the bench against Liverpool, but put Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio in the starting eleven. In the second half Emery also picked Ian Maatsen and Matty Cash – these two players could be in the line-up against Chelsea on Saturday.

Chelsea approach this trip to Birmingham after two consecutive losses against Brighton & Hove Albion – first in the FA Cup and then in the Premier League. In these two games the Blues scored just one goal and conceded four – not a very good stat before facing Aston Villa away from home.

The manager Enzo Maresca could be making changes to the team that faced Brighton at the American Express. Jadon Sancho could return in the starting eleven while Reece James is also an option for the right-back position.

Nicolas Jackson was not available against Brighton so he was replaced by Christopher Nkunku at the top of the attack. Let’s see if Nkunku is going to lead the attack again or Maresca will try something different.
