Chelsea are heading into this match in poor form, having lost four of their last five games, with their only win coming away from home. Aston Villa have been more mixed but picked up a crucial away win last time out, and they have been scoring goals regularly. Looking at the recent history between these two sides, the matches have been exciting and full of goals, with both teams finding the net in most of their recent meetings.

Given Chelsea's struggles and Aston Villa's ability to compete and score on the road, this looks like a very open game. While Chelsea have the home advantage, their current form is a big worry. So, based on how the teams are playing right now, Aston Villa look like the more likely side to come away with a win here.
