Chelsea vs. Aston Villa: Everything you need to know

Rick Glanvill, a club historian, and Paul Dutton, a club statistician, focus on team news, opponent analysis, and other talking points as they approach Aston Villa’s visit.

Chelsea’s second straight two o’clock Aston Villa will play at Stamford Bridge on Sunday for the season’s sixth Premier League matchup. The Blues will be trying to forget over the disappointing loss to Nottingham Forest in their previous home game.

 

This season, the goalframe has tormented both clubs, especially the Blues. Having seen the ball ricochet to safety from their shots, Enzo Fernandez (twice), Nicolas Jackson, and Raheem Sterling will hope the breaks go in Chelsea’s favor this weekend.

 

Under the leadership of head coach Unai Emery, Villa won six of their first eight away league contests, including a 2-0 victory in this contest (their first shutout at the Bridge since March 1998). However, they have only managed to win once in seven attempts when traveling, losing four times.
