Aston Villa is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 matches and their attack has been great in these. They have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches and have been averaging over 2 goals scored per match in that span. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won 4 of their last 5 matches there with no losses in that span as well as winning 5 of their last 7 matches there. Their attack has been very good in these matches as well as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 5 matches there. They are going up against a Chelsea side that has not been in great form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 2 straight matches and they only have 1 win in their last 4 straight. They crashed out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 loss to Man City and then followed that up with a 5-0 loss to Arsenal in their last match. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 2 straight as well as having no wins in their last 5 straight matches. Chelsea was playing well until they went up against Man City in the FA Cup, now they have not scored a goal in 2 matches and they are going to be low on confidence here after losing 5-0 to Arsenal. Aston Villa has been a very good team at home going back to last season and they have a very potent attack that is going to find the net on this Chelsea defense, but they also have a good defense at home that will be able to keep this struggling Chelsea attack out of their net as well. Aston Villa will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
