We’re in the endgame now, ladies and gentlemen. The Premier League season is entering the final furlong with just a handful of games remaining for clubs up and down English football’s top tier. Whether it be the title race, the relegation battle or anything in between, there’s still a lot left to be determined. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the upcoming clash between Aston Villa and Chelsea.
Aston Villa Form GuideThe good times are back for Aston Villa Football Club. They’re on the verge of a European final and alongside that, they’re also just a handful of games away from qualifying for the Champions League. Unai Emery has worked some real miracles in the second city and it feels like they’re set for a period of real consistency and success in the years that lie ahead.
Following a 3-3 draw with Brentford, Villa defeated Lille over two legs to reach the semi-finals of the Conference League. In addition, they went on the road and beat Arsenal 2-0, before cruising their way to a 3-1 success at home to Bournemouth.
Chelsea Form GuideThis season hasn’t been particularly fruitful for Mauricio Pochettino and while it may not seem like it, a lot rests on how they bounce back between now and the end of May. They need to make a real fight of it in their pursuit of European football because if they don’t, they could find themselves going through yet another major change by the time the summer window rolls around.
Following draws against Burnley and Sheffield United, as well as wins over Manchester United and Everton, Chelsea were faced with back to back games against two of the best teams in the league. They proceeded to lose to Manchester City in the FA Cup before a 5-0 battering courtesy of Arsenal in the league.
Match PredictionVilla and Chelsea are both in need of a big result and as we’ve seen on countless occasions, they both know how to find success in the final third. We think this game is going to be a really fun back and forth affair, and in terms of an official prediction, we’re shooting for over 2.5 goals scored.
