Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge after a solid 2-0 victory over Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League, maintaining their perfect record in the competition. The Blues, however, have struggled at home in the Premier League, accumulating just 41% of their points at Stamford Bridge this season, the lowest percentage in the division. With a shaky defensive record that has seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in their first six home league games, Chelsea will be looking to turn their form around when they face an Aston Villa side that is also experiencing a dip in form.
In this preview, we take a deeper look at both Chelsea’s inconsistent form at home and Villa’s recent struggles in the league. The visitors have gone four league games without a win, and while they’ve managed to pick up draws, there’s a sense that Unai Emery’s men need to find a spark. However, Villa’s recent record at Stamford Bridge offers a glimmer of hope, as they have remained unbeaten on their last four visits to Chelsea. With both teams keen to pick up crucial points, this promises to be an intriguing encounter.
Chelsea's season has been far from smooth sailing, especially at Stamford Bridge. While their 2-0 win over Heidenheim continued their perfect record in the UEFA Conference League, their Premier League form at home has been disappointing, with just nine points from their first six games.
The biggest issue for Chelsea has been their leaky defence – they are yet to register a clean sheet in the league at home, marking the club’s longest wait for a home clean sheet to start a season since the 1978/79 campaign. Going forward, Chelsea has been more reliable, with the ever-impressive Nicolas Jackson leading the charge, scoring in five Premier League matches so far. But for Chelsea to challenge for the top spots, they’ll need to shore up their backline, starting with this match against Villa.
Aston Villa's recent form has left something to be desired. They are winless in their last four Premier League outings, drawing two and losing two, and have not tasted victory since a 2-0 triumph over Bologna in the Champions League back in mid-October. Despite this, there have been signs of improvement, such as their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace and a solid 0-0 against Juventus in the Champions League.
Villa can take confidence from their strong record against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they’ve gone unbeaten in their last four visits (W2, D2). Ollie Watkins has been Villa’s go-to man in these encounters, scoring the winning goal in both of their last two away victories against Chelsea. Villa will need him to continue that form if they are to secure something from this trip.
Our experts expect a closely contested match between two sides that are both looking for a return to winning ways. While Chelsea will be the favourites on paper, their defensive fragility at home leaves them vulnerable, especially against a Villa side that has traditionally done well in London. Villa's ability to frustrate Chelsea and take advantage of any lapses at the back will be crucial in this fixture. With a solid record at Stamford Bridge and a talented attacking force, Villa have the tools to take all three points here, and they’ll certainly fancy their chances against a Chelsea side that’s yet to hit full stride.

We predict an Aston Villa victory. Given Chelsea’s struggles at home and Villa's strong recent record in this fixture, our experts believe Villa will take advantage of Chelsea’s defensive frailties. Betting Tip: Back Aston Villa to win. With Villa's impressive track record at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea’s home woes, Villa have a real opportunity to grab all three points.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
