“I can bet on them” “They’re winning” – Alan Shearer makes ‘SHOCKING’ prediciton on who will win Chelsea vs Aston Villa clash
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has revealed his prediction for Chelsea’s crucial match against Aston Villa on Sunday in the race for Champions League participation.
The Blues are presently fourth in the league and on track to earn a spot in Europe’s top club competition after a strong start to the season.
Chelsea is only three points clear of Villa in eighth place, who have won both of their previous trips to Stamford Bridge, but the table is extremely close.
Shearer makes Chelsea vs Aston Villa prediction
The Blues recored a much needed win against Leicester last time out having headed into that game with just one win from their last five games.
Enzo Maresca has been handed a boost with the news that both Pedro Neto and Malo Gusto should be available having missed the trip to the King Power Stadium.
Chelsea have only lost two of their 12 league games this season and a win could see them end the weekend as high as second depending on what happens in Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City.
Villa haven’t won in the league since their win against Fulham on October 19th, but they will pose a tough test for the Blues.
“Aston Villa are on a bit of a tough run at the moment, they were very unfortunate against Juventus, and Chelsea are on the up and looking strong,” Shearer told The Metro.
“I think I’ll go for a Chelsea win with the form they’re in. I can bet on them, I think they’ll take the points. Prediction: Chelsea win.”
