Recent respective form guides
Aston Villa's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Villans have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Chelsea's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Blues, and 5 goals against.
Aston Villa see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 25 points from their 21 games played so far, Chelsea sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 47 points from their 21 games.
