Premier League on Sky Sports: Chelsea vs Aston Villa betting preview and tips
Saturday night football heads to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea welcome Aston Villa under the lights in a heavyweight Premier League matchup.
With both sides firmly in the hunt near the top of the table, the fixture carries real significance as the season begins to take shape.
Form at home meets momentum on the road in what promises to be a stern test for each manager’s ambitions.
Here, Sports News Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of the clash.
The tale so far
Chelsea arrive having failed to win any of their last four league outings, although last weekend’s comeback from two goals down at Newcastle United at least halted the slide.
Enzo Maresca can also take encouragement from recent performances in west London, where his side remain unbeaten in four straight home matches.
That run includes an eye-catching 3-0 Champions League victory over Barcelona, underlining Chelsea’s potential when confidence is high.
Aston Villa, however, travel south in formidable shape, sitting seven points clear of their hosts in the league standings.
Unai Emery’s men have strung together 10 consecutive wins in all competitions and have been beaten just twice since late September.
Fresh from a 2-1 home success over Manchester United, Villa head to the capital firmly embedded in the Premier League title conversation.
Best bets
Both teams to score
Both sides have found the net in each of Aston Villa’s last five matches, a trend that has also appeared in five of Chelsea’s previous seven.
Over 3.5 goals
This outcome has occurred in two of five meetings between these teams, while Chelsea’s previous two matches have produced four goals and all of Villa’s last five have featured at least three.
Morgan Rogers to score
The England international comes into the match in red-hot form, having netted four times across two league outings.
