Chelsea vs Aston Villa Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026
  • Chelsea welcome in-form Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge on Saturday as the Blues look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

    Enzo Maresca’s side showed plenty of resilience to fight back against Newcastle having trailed 2-0, but that 2-2 draw leaves the club fourth, 10 points behind Arsenal at the top of the table.

    Villa, however, continued their superb form by sealing an impressive 2-1 win over Manchester United to remain within touching distance of Arsenal.

    A trip to London will be yet another test of their mettle, but Unai Emery won’t be fazed at the prospect.

  • The Blues have scored 29 goals in the top flight this season.
  • Chelsea have lost only one of their last five matches against Villa.

Player to Watch

Morgan Rogers has proved to Emery that he is Villa’s main man in recent weeks, scoring braces against Manchester United and West Ham United.

Not only has he shone for his club this season, but it appears as though Rogers could be Thomas Tuchel’s starter at number 10 for England at the 2026 World Cup.

He could prove to be the main difference between the two clubs on Saturday evening. Don’t be surprised to see him record yet another goal contribution.
