In the early hours of 27 December, Chelsea will challenge Villa away and try to win to keep the gap with the leader. Not long ago, Tuchel led Chelsea to the top of the table, but due to poor performances in the last six games, they have fallen to third, six points behind the leaders Manchester City. Villa, meanwhile, have won 4 of their last 6 games to finish in 10th place and have enjoyed it under Gerrard.
Villa, who played at home, hopes they will recall Al because of the absence of the new crown. Gazi, Sansson and Davis compete. But Ashley. The return of Jan and Buendia is expected to be a great encouragement to Villa. But Traore, Pele, Steele and Nakamba will still miss the game.
Chelsea, who played away, have performed badly recently, not only due to the isolation of players due to the new crown, but also seems to be due to the technical and tactical understanding. However, Tuchel will certainly welcome the return of Lukaku and Hudson, and the possibility of a comeback for Zick and Christensen. However, Werner, Havertz, Chilwell and Ziyech will miss the tournament.
So both teams are expected to start:
Villa: Martinez, Cash, Consa, Mins, Taggart, McGin, Louis, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins, Ashley. Jan;
Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger, James, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso, Mount, Lukaku, Hudson-Odoi.
Villa's ability to win has improved since Gerrard led the team, and they have played very strongly at home, scoring more than 2 goals in five of their last 6 home games. And they are good at attacking on the flanks, relying on their personal ability to create opportunities, and their set-piece tactics are more powerful. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been slacking off lately, but they are the second best defensive team in the league defensively, and they have more offensive points, with a total of 16 players scoring goals, but their away record has dropped significantly, with three of the last four away games failing to win.
Chelsea are Villa's nemesis in the history of the two teams, winning seven of their last 10 games against Villa. Villa, on the other hand, had only one win. However, considering the current general situation in the Premier League, the isolation of isolation, the uncomfortable discomfort, for which Villa is expected to be 1-1 Chelsea.
