Chelsea vs Aston Villa Tips

Tip 1

Villa’s no.8 has committed a team-high 19 fouls in the league, meeting this line seven times from a possible 12 and twice from five in the UCL.

Three of the last four successes for this line have come away from Villa Park, and the Belgian is set to directly face Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo, who’ve drawn 46 fouls between them in the division this campaign.

Tip 2

Jackson returned to the scoresheet in his last outing, opening the scoring at the King Power inside 15 minutes.

That strike puts him on seven for the season in 12 games, where he’s had a shot on target in every single appearance so far.

With Villa having shipped 11 in their last six and 19 for the season – only five teams have conceded more – Jackson looks a good bet to bag again to make it three from his last four at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Blues are now unbeaten in their last five after extending this run with a 2-0 win over Bundesliga side Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Captain Reece James remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Christopher Nkunku is a doubt after picking up a knock midweek.

Chelsea Predicted XI: Sanchez; Gusto, Colwill, Fofana, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.

Aston Villa Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

On the flip side, AVFC are without a win in their last seven, although Wednesday’s Champions League meeting with Juventus should have brought an end to that search when the hosts were robbed of a dramatic winner at the game’s death.

For the visitors, Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey are unexpected to feature at Stamford Bridge.

Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Barkley, Tielemans; Bailey, Rogers, McGinn; Watkins.
