Aston Villa vs Chelsea pre-match thread

[RamboandBruno]

They haven't won away in the PL since Dec at Luton.
So I'm going 2-3. :'(

This is Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, things are different.

[Footy-Vill]

Win tonight, we could be in with a should for 3rd at this rate.

That would be lovely !
Makes those Man Utd defeats more gauling and that Sheffield Utd draw when could have gone top at Xmas.
Let's say would have learnt from that for next season.

They won at Palace in Feb.

And this is Chelsea who are not the force they once were!
Last away games
0-5 Arsenal
2-2 Brentford
2-2 Sheffield Utd
To be fair they got a 1-1 draw in away match at Man City but I don't think should fear them!

Chelsea fade in second halves away from home if they even offer any threat tonight it'll be all they can to cope.

Chelsea have won just 1 of 9 away matches at sides in the top 12 with that victory coming against 9-man Spurs.

Is more apt

Is this game on tv?

TNT.

Scoring first will be vital…

[kippaxvilla2]

Thanks.  Zaniolo and Moreno are out.

[Forge10]

I really hope he sticks with the same team.

I really hope he sticks with the same team.

Me too but I think Luiz will be in and Diaby or Rogers hooked .

[Forge10]

I think at the moment Roger’s has to play, Diaby I’m not so fussed about.

[Footy-Vill]

Would you expect Cash or Konsa at right back ?

[PeterWithesShin]

Seems likely Cucurella will start for them

[Forge10]

Diaby dropped for Luiz.
