Aston Villa played a good match against Liverpool during the week and made a 2:2 draw. This once again showed that they are a tough opponent, especially at home. They have only lost once this season at home, which was against Arsenal back in August. The problem is that Villa has not kept a clean sheet at home recently, which has led to them currently having 9 consecutive home games in all competitions where both teams score.
Chelsea is not in good form latelyChelsea was defeated for the second time in a week by Brighton. This time it was heavier - with a 0:3 loss as a guest in a league match. Chelsea continues to struggle with form lately. They have only achieved three wins in their last 11 matches in all competitions, and all three were at home. They are facing problems in attack, especially after Madueke left injured in the last match and is now doubtful. A plus for Chelsea before this match is that they did not have a midweek game and had a whole 5 days more for recovery compared to Aston Villa.
Prediction: both teams to score (yes), double chance 1XAston Villa had less time to recover compared to Chelsea, but the form of the guests does not inspire confidence lately, as well as the injury problems in attack. I think Villa will not lose at home again and can have another home game with goals at both ends.
