Chelsea v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Legion]

See the opening post of the Arsenal thread. There are two links in there. One takes you to a short while before kick-off, the other takes you to full-time.

Good chance to put us three clear of Yanited.

In all seriousness, I think a draw would be a very good result.

It is an ideal game to get first clean sheet for Aston Villa. (in the league for a long time)  I am not expecting too much but anything can happens.

Hard one to predict but hopefully a days extra rest than Chelsea might be an advantage.

[Deano's Mullet]

We'll give a spirited performance but cant see us winning. We will lose but it wont feel quite as bad as it would have done after beating Arsenal.

Think he'll chnge the team up ready to have a bigger go at Liverpool on Saturday.

That's not to say lambert is going to write off the Chelsea game. Having the win yesterday kind of takes the pressure off this game in some way.

Think we'll see Tonev or Bacuna in midfield.

Going for a draw if we get lucky. But I think it will be a close game but a 2-0 loss

[Smirker]

I was certain we'd beat Arsenal however I think a draw would be a fantastic result for us here. Its achievable but it is going to be very difficult.

Draw here then smash the Scousers at VP.

I'll go with 2-2.

Can there be a link to the first mention of biscuits?

3-1 defeat. Chelsea won't be as poor as Arsenal were.

[Mazrim]

True, Chelsea will be better than Arsenal.

3-2 Villa.

In recent history we seem to have one good game at Stamford bridge following one bad. Roughly. Have a feeling we will win again, the run continues, 2-1 Bentekke and Gabby.

Should reserve a prediction until we see them later, but I expect Chelsea to have too much for us under Mourinho.  Reckon a 2-1 defeat, so would gladly take a draw.

[Dave P]

We'll do better then last season but get the same amount of points. 3-1 them.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Looked up the score for home game and it is Villa 1 Chelsea 2 in May and we should be lot better and hopefully we will get a draw.
