With so many sides above them stopping and starting around them, both Chelsea and Aston Villa look to have a great chance of cracking the top 4 this season. The blues seem to have found a way to keep winning under Enzo Maresca and who knows how far their expensively assembled squad can go. Aston Villa are balancing the Champions League and the Premier League this term but are always dangerous in games such as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Analysis
<\/strong>This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites<\/a> in West London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enzo Maresca looks to be turning the tide at Chelsea, and they are sitting pretty in the top 4. Whether they can kick on and keep pace with the sides above them remains to be seen but they have a clear playing identity and who knows how far they can go. Games such as this look set to define their season and with home support backing them to the hilt, they look well placed to rattle into Villa here in the eyes of most punters and Premier League betting sites<\/a>.

Team news<\/strong>: Jadon Sancho and Reece James are the injury doubts here for Chelsea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea<\/strong> Predicted Lineup:<\/strong>
Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer, Neto, Madueke & Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Villa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an interesting start to the Premier League season for Aston Villa, who have to stretch their squad pretty thin, with Champions League commitments to worry about to this term. Unai Emery is well versed in competing at this level though and he will be hoping to guide his side through this relatively tricky patch in the Premier League. This is a real test on the road at Chelsea though and Villa will need to stand up and be counted in this one.

Team news<\/strong>: Emi Buendia remains out of action for Villa in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Villa<\/strong> Predicted Lineup:<\/strong>
Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Barkley, Tielemans, McGinn, Bailey, Rogers & Watkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction
<\/strong>This should be a very good game at Stamford Bridge, between two sides that will be desperate to beat each other. Chelsea have been ticking along nicely of late and this feels like a chance for them to solidify their top 4 credentials. Meanwhile, this is a big game for Villa in terms of their top 4 aspirations. It will be tight but Chelsea could end up edging this one.
Prediction:<\/strong> Chelsea to win the match \u2013 4\/5 (-120)<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>Rhino Bet<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea vs Aston Villa – The Ultimate Bet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea to win & BTTS \u2013 <\/strong>7\/2 (+350)<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>Fitzdares<\/strong><\/a>
<\/strong>This could be a very good game, with both sides sure to play on the front foot and it feels as if Chelsea should prevail, even if both sides manage to get on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
