STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sat: Chelsea v Aston Villa

Aston Villa will be looking to continue their incredible winning streak on Saturday when they make the trip to the capital to face-off with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, writes JOE CITRONE.

In their most recent outing, Unai Emery’s side defeated Manchester United at Villa Park, courtesy of a brace from Morgan Rogers, to keep them clinging onto the coat-tails of Arsenal and Manchester City.

That was their 10th win in a row in all competitions, a simply incredible run of form which has had many debating whether Villa could be in a title race. Another victory over Chelsea on Saturday would surely convince the remaining doubters that they are part of the charge.

Chelsea fought back from 2-0 down against Newcastle in their last match, with goals from Reece James and Joao Pedro rescuing a point for the Blues at St James’ Park.

Enzo Maresca’s side will now be hoping to kick on from that after what was a difficult build-up to Christmas, where outside noise and speculation threatened to derail Chelsea’s hopes of finishing in the top-four.

Although, of course, Stamford Bridge isn’t an easy place to go, I just think Villa, with the form they are on, will have the confidence and belief to go and get another good result on Saturday. At 3/1 with starsports.bet, I simply can’t turn my nose up at another win for the Villains.
