Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge this Sunday for the 2pm kick off reside in entrance of the Sky cameras as soon as once more for the second week in a row.
Final Sunday didn’t go nice taking part in in the identical scheduled fixture for that point, drawing 0-0 with Bournemouth. Let’s hope this Sunday we get a greater end result.
I’m nonetheless within the mindset that I consider a win is coming and I really feel we’re taking part in nicely. We’re missing finesse (which is getting SO boring and irritating to say) however we’re taking part in nicely. I additionally really feel we have to bounce again as such and get our season on monitor, so a house fixture towards Villa is a superb likelihood to take action. I’m not able to lose an excessive amount of religion simply but, even when I’ve misplaced somewhat.
Chelsea are in 14th place within the league desk after 5 video games performed, and Villa are in seventh place.
Villa haven’t drawn any of their opening video games, profitable 3 and dropping 2. They’ve overwhelmed Crystal Palace, Burnley, and Everton, and the worrying factor is that they’ve scored 10 objectives in these 3 matches!
However on the flipside to that, they’ve conceded 8 objectives within the two video games they misplaced. We gained’t point out who they had been towards although lets hold the great vibes rolling!
Someway, and I nonetheless don’t know how or who works these out, however Chelsea have a 51% win likelihood, and Villa have 24%.
After I was a child, Villa was once an actual bogey group for us. One in all my mates in school supported them and he was the one Villa fan in the entire faculty. However I bear in mind him typically teasing me greater than I might tease him at that time anyway!
And the head-to-head information again this up. The 2 golf equipment have met 162 occasions because the first recreation in 1907. Chelsea have edged it with 68 wins, however Villa have additionally gained 59 of these video games and drawn 35 towards us.
When it comes to lineups, now we have to attend a bit to see the health of Moises Caicedo and listen to from Mauricio Pochettino within the press convention. Which suggests I’ve to do a few situations for every recreation. So initially, let’s hold the vibes up and say Caicedo shall be match.
So right here is my PREFERRED lineup:
I do know some may suppose Mudryk wants to begin once more and I don’t disagree. I simply love the boldness and direct risks that Madueke brings and I feel he earned a begin from his good video games on worldwide break – he appears to be in a very good momentum. The remainder for me a minimum of, decide themselves.
And that is my PREDICTED lineup:
Proper, now lets decrease the temper and say that Caicedo doesn’t make it this Sunday.
Right here is my PREFERRED:
In order you’ll be able to see, my lineup can be a mixture of a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1. I’d need to make it possible for Enzo is closest to Ugochukwu, and Palmer has extra of a free function fairly than set 8s. Enzo I don’t need to see too far vast on the left or too superior, and I’d need Sterling working these areas as a substitute. He would be capable to try this with Chilwell overlapping. Gusto and Madueke can do the identical down the appropriate. I feel that may be our most harmful setup.
My PREDICTED:
I actually see Pochettino going with the identical lineup as final Sunday, as irritating as that may be for my part.
However let’s see. My religion stays with Poch.
My rating prediction. Yikes….. I’m going to maintain the vibes as a result of I actually suppose we’re so near getting a very good win. I additionally suppose though Villa can rating a objective, I can see it being tight. I’m going for 2-0 to Chelsea.
Goalscorers? Palmer off the bench, and Sterling.
