A disappointing draw against Everton (2-2) before the international break should not diminish the fact that Chelsea won their previous three matches. Moreover, the Londoners continue to try to regain their former glory under the leadership of Graham Potter. Threatening to further disrupt their progress, the injury-plagued Blues may now be without five key players for their match against Aston Villa – a team that they have defeated in nine of their last 11 Premier League matches. The team is not against extending this streak, but the home team has not been playing their best – they have won only three of their nine home games. In addition, Stamford Bridge has not pleased fans of entertaining football, as only 26 goals have been scored on this pitch this football year – the fewest among all other stadiums. As a result, the hosts have ten victories and eight draws, which brought them 38 points and the tenth place in the standings. Today, Sterling, Broja, Fofana, Gora, James, Havertz, Azpilicueta, Aubameyang, and Silva, who has a knee injury, will not be able to take the field.
The form of Aston Villa in the last four games is the same as Chelsea’s, and it’s equally difficult to separate them in the league table: both teams have earned 38 points. One has to go back to the 1995/96 season when the Lions finished higher than the Blues in the Premier League table, and considering they have lost six out of their last seven visits to the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, they may once again play catch-up, conceding three points on Saturday evening. Nevertheless, today the team is under the guidance of Unai Emery, on whose coaching talent the team’s supporters rely. In 27 rounds, Birmingham has recorded 11 wins and five draws, which ultimately correspond to 38 points and an 11th position in the league table. In their last match at home, the team left no chance for Bournemouth (3-0). Today, Camara, Dendocker, Coutinho, Cash, and Sturridge, who has a muscular injury, won’t be able to take the field.
