Last season Aston Villa failed to please with serious results and the very quality of the game is a big question. Nevertheless, the seven-time champion of England managed to find funds to strengthen the squad, for which the management allocated 70 million euros. In addition, it is almost a year since Steven Gerrard took over as head coach and so far there are no prerequisites for looking for a replacement for him. Over the nine stages of the current championship, the Villans have won two wins and three draws, which corresponds to nine points and 16th position in the standings. In the last two rounds the Lions have drawn with Leeds (0:0) and Nottingham Forest (1:1). After the last game, the head coach said that his wards did not have the courage to win. Camara, Ding, Diego Carlos and Augustinson, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today.
If last season Chelsea could not hold the title of winner in the Champions League, then the start in the new group stage is still going well. For four rounds of the current tournament, the capital club has chalked up two wins and a draw, which corresponds to seven points and the first position in the tournament table. This week the Blues managed to beat Milan (2:0) quite easily on the road and they did it for the second time in a row. In the Premier League tournament, the “pensioners” got five wins and a draw in eight stages, which in the end corresponds to 16 points and the fourth position in the standings. The attacking line of the Londoners played very poorly, which differed only 13 times. In the last round the wards of Graham Potter, who took over the team only last month, defeated Wolverhampton (3:0). Kante, Fofana and James, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
