The Premier League continues on Sunday 1st December 2024 as Chelsea host Aston Villa in what is a must win game for both teams.
Chelsea are in good form at the minute and a win in this game could be massive. Aston Villa on the other hand are looking to get back on track in the league so a win here would be huge. This is bound to be an interesting and entertaining game.
Chelsea Predicted Line Up - Robert Sánchez; Marc Cucurella, Benoît Badiashile, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana; Enzo Fernández, Moisés Caicedo; João Félix, Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke; Nicolas Jackson
Chelsea are in good form. They are third in the league on 22 points. A win in this match could take them up to second - even if temporarily.
Luckily for them they will be confident with the amount of goals they score. They have managed the third most goals in the league this season (23). Not only this but they have conceded the third least as well (14) putting them in good stead.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup - Emiliano Martínez; Ian Maatsen, Pau Torres, Diego Carlos, Lamare Bogarde; Youri Tielemans, Ross Barkley; John McGinn, Morgan Rogers, Leon Bailey; Ollie Watkins
Aston Villa currently sit eighth in the table on 19 points. This following a slight dip in recent weeks in terms of form. They haven’t won in seven. However a win here could put them in good stead for a European push.
They have scored a very good 19 goals but where they are let down is their 19 goals conceded. This more than anyone inside the top ten of the table.
There have been 166 meetings between these two teams previous to this game. Chelsea have the advantage with 69 wins while Aston Villa have won 60. There have also been 37 draws.
Despite this Chelsea have only won one of the last five games against Villa. Will that poor run continue here?

This is sure to be a close game with both teams similarly matched and also both of them being surely tired after their respective cup ties. However, this game will mean a lot more for Chelsea with a chance to break into the top two on the line. It will be tight but the hosts will win.
