Cesc Fabregas makes bold Chelsea vs Aston Villa clash
In a pivotal Premier League matchup on Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino’s inconsistent Chelsea team will visit Villa Park to take on Aston Villa, who are currently in fourth position.
Despite a goals draw at the bridge in February, the blues have really won three straight at Villa Park, including the unexpected 3-1 victory in the FA Cup fourth round (replay) that season.
We also won here last season when Mason Mount scored two extremely fortunate goals. The outcome was the identical in 2021 when a Jorginho penalty brace sandwiched a Romelu Lukaku goal.
In September, Aston Villa defeated Chelsea 1-0 in their Premier League first-round match. Ollie Watkins, the team’s standout player, scored the game’s lone goal to give Unai Emery’s team a crucial three points away from home.
The Chelsea vs. Aston Villa match at Villa Park is expected to be an extremely difficult test for the blues, according to former Chelsea player Cesc Fabregas.
The former Chelsea striker has predicted a 2-1 victory for Chelsea, but he has also cautioned his squad about Villa’s Ollie Watkins, another striker.
With 19 goals and 12 assists so far this season in the Premier League for Unai Emery’s team, the 28-year-old Englishman is enjoying a fantastic campaign.
