Chelsea v Aston Villa head-to-head

Chelsea have lost just one of their last 16 home league games against Villa (W11 D4), going down 3-1 in December 2011.

However, Villa won their last Premier League meeting with Chelsea, winning 2-1 on the final day of last season. They’ve not won consecutive league games against the Blues since October 1993 under Ron Atkinson.

Villa have won three of the last 19 encounters with Chelsea and bid to go unbeaten in three consecutive meetings for the first time since 2007.

They are 13/5 to win or draw the game in the Double Chance market.

The last four clashes saw both sides find the net and it is 6/5 this is the case again in the Chelsea v Aston Villa betting tips.

Four of the last five meetings yielded three total goals or more and it is 7/10 that this trend continues.

Chelsea v Aston Villa team news

N’Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic (both ankle) are ruled out for Chelsea, but Romelu Lukaku was fit to feature after a minor thigh issue on duty with Belgium.

Villa are without Emi Martinez and Emi Buendia, who are in Croatia after returning from international duty with Argentina. The duo would have had to quarantine if they travelled directly back to the UK so are training in the green listed country.
