Chelsea Recent Form — Last 5
Aston Villa Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Aston Villa's 10-match winning streak across all competitions, combined with Chelsea’s inconsistent run of only one victory in their last five league games, suggests a significant momentum gap that favors an away win.
Chelsea’s tendency to concede late at home (6 of their 7 home goals conceded in the second half) aligns with Aston Villa’s status as the league leader in comeback wins, making a second-half Villa turnaround highly probable.
The absence of Chelsea’s defensive anchor Levi Colwill (ACL) against a prolific Villa attack led by Morgan Rogers—who has scored twice in his last match—is likely to result in defensive lapses that Ollie Watkins will exploit.
Injuries & Absentees
Chelsea is missing Levi Colwill (ACL), Romeo Lavia (thigh), and Dario Essugo (thigh), while Mykhaylo Mudryk is suspended. Aston Villa is without Pau Torres (calf), Tyrone Mings (thigh), and Ross Barkley (knee); Jadon Sancho is ineligible to face his parent club.
