Chelsea Form

Chelsea have hit a poor run of form. The Blues have lost three of their last four matches in the Premier League.

A 1-0 defeat at Everton saw Chelsea record 72% possession and Mason Mount hit the woodwork late on. Frank Lampard’s side lost 2-1 against Wolves at Molineux after conceding in the last minute of the match.

Chelsea bounced back in style at Stamford Bridge with a 3-0 win against West Ham. They had 2.41-0.28 expected goals, Thiago Silva opening the scoring with Tammy Abraham scoring two goals.

The optimism was short lived after a 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates. Chelsea had 61% possession, 19-15 shots and 2.25-1.94 expected goals but Abraham’s 85th minute goal was a mere consolation.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech is injured. Frank Lampard will have to make changes after the Boxing Day defeat to Arsenal.

Timo Werner was hooked at half-time against Arsenal and unlikely to start here. Expect Kai Havertz to start.

Olivier Giroud should replace Tammy Abraham up front.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa have been in fine form in recent weeks and are two points outside the top four with a game in hand. They won 1-0 at Wolves thanks to a Anwar El Ghazi penalty in added time.

Dean Smith’s side bossed Burnley at home but had to settle for a 1-0 draw. Villa were comfortable 3-0 winners at West Brom thanks to a brace from El Ghazi and Bertrand Traore’s first Premier League goal of the season.

Aston Villa kept the run going with another 3-0 win, this time at home against Crystal Palace. Traore opened the scoring but was substituted before the break following Tyrone Mings’ red card.

Villa played well with 1-0 men, Kortney Hause extending the lead and El Ghazi continuing his great form with another goal.
