Form and Team Stats

Chelsea

Chelsea enter the weekend clinging onto fourth place after a frustrating run of inconsistency. Their last five league outings read W1, D3, L1, a sequence that has prevented them from pulling clear in the Champions League race. Stamford Bridge hasn’t been the fortress it once was – two home league defeats already this season – and Enzo Maresca is edging close to surpassing the total number of home losses from his entire previous full campaign.

Despite the turbulence, Chelsea can take confidence from strong results against higher-placed sides this season (W2, D1), and they tend to grow into games: six of the seven home goals they’ve conceded have come after half-time. Garnacho has emerged as a bright spark, attempting 2+ shots in five of his last six league starts, and historically enjoys playing against Villa.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa arrive chasing history. Unai Emery’s side have stitched together ten consecutive competitive wins, and another here would equal the club’s all-time record of 11 straight victories. Villa’s seven-match Premier League winning streak is their longest since 1910, fuelling genuine belief they can sustain a title challenge.

Their away pattern remains puzzling: they haven’t led a single away league match at half-time this season (HT: D4, L4), yet they continue to overturn deficits. Villa have also won a league-high five matches when conceding first, highlighting their resilience and in-game adaptability. Tielemans has rediscovered influence, contributing in two of his last three outings.
