THE PREDICTION
Aston Villa may be dull right now but they are at least proving difficult to break down and the onus will be on Chelsea here to take the game to the hosts. The visitors are operating well in the early stages of Graham Potter’s tenure and the manager will be particularly pleased with the output of recent signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored in his last three starts for the club. Villa just haven’t offered enough creativity in attack lately to have any confidence in them here, with in-form Chelsea tipped to take the three points.
TIP: CHELSEA TO WIN
