Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Aston Villa

Birmingham City have been very inconsistent in recent Premier League rounds, but remain third in the table and continue to fight for a Champions League spot. Unai Emery's side, despite having a significant points cushion and an advantage over their rivals, are not considered favorites to finish in the top four, given the squad's depth and the busy Europa League schedule ahead. The Premier League is considered a priority for Aston Villa at this stage of the campaign, so the home team should definitely bring their strongest lineup to their next crucial match and strive to deliver a top-flight performance that will allow them to secure all three points.

Chelsea

Chelsea are another contender for a top-four finish in the English Premier League table at the end of the season, while also playing in the Champions League knockout stages. The Blues also have an extremely challenging and eventful schedule, and two recent setbacks against Leeds and Burnley clearly weren't part of the team's plans, making things more difficult for Liam Rosenior's men. In their next match, the Londoners will be looking not only to secure another three points but also to trip up one of their rivals. The team's top scorer in the current Premier League season is Brazilian Joao Pedro, who has scored 11 goals and provided four assists.

This is one of the key matches of the 29th round of the English Premier League, which will determine the winner among the contenders for a top-four spot in the standings. Bookmakers are refusing to pick a clear favorite in the clash between Aston Villa and Chelsea, and a single goal could easily decide the outcome of such a game.
