Chelsea v Aston Villa
📅
Kick Off: Sunday 1st December at 13:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Two sides who have ambitions of finishing in the top four in the Premier League meet in a Sunday showdown when Chelsea entertain Aston Villa.
Villa achieved the feat last term but are below where they want to be right now,while Chelsea aim to enhance their hopes in what should be a lively game.
⭐ Chelsea v Aston Villa Best Bets
The obvious pick for this match involves both teams to score.
There is no doubt that these sides look much better going forward than at the back and the numbers reflect that. BTTS and over 2.5 goals has landed in eight of the 12 Aston Villa matches this season while five of the 12 Chelsea games have covered it with 1-1 draws against Arsenal and Manchester United not covering the over despite statistics suggesting they should.
👕 Chelsea v Aston Villa Predicted XI
🔍 Chelsea v Aston Villa Players to Watch
🔵 Noni Madueke
Given the talent in this Chelsea side, Noni Madueke can sometimes go unnoticed on the right side of the attack but the England international is quietly building up a bank of positive attacking statistics which include 1.49 shots on target per 90 minutes this season.
Against a Villa defence whose high line can be detrimental to them against pace and skill, the Chelsea wideman looks a solid pick for a shot on target at 1.40.
🟣 Boubacar Kamara
With Amadou Onana likely to miss the match with injury Boubacar Kamara could come in for a first Premier League start of the season, and with him likely to need a bit of time to get back up to speed with the pace of the league he is a prime candidate for committing fouls. He was only on the pitch for 16 minutes against Liverpool recently and committed a foul and in a competitive midfield battle he can double his tally with a starting berth here.
🟣 Morgan Rogers
Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers could be a thorn in the side of Chelsea in this match.
He tends to operate from the inside-left channel where Chelsea often have issues because of the inability of Reece James to stay fit. James is out again for this match which should free up Rogers to get into dangerous positions. Buoyed by his maiden England cap recently, Rogers, who averages 1.92 shots per game, looks a solid price to have two more shots here.
