A draw last time out doesn’t do it justice. Earning a point away at Anfield, against a close to full fitness Liverpool squad, with ten men for most of the match? Tuchel has nudged Chelsea into title talks off the back of the gusty performance (and, of course, a Champions League last season). Villa have been an enjoyable mixed bag, understandable when acknowledging its status as a talented squad with a Grealish-sized hole in its heart. Without Emi Martinez or Emi Buendia in the team, though, Villa will struggle away.
Prediction: 3-0
Ryan
Chelsea must be considered title contenders at this point. They impressed a lot at Anfield to bring a point back with 10 men. Lukaku looks like the final piece of the puzzle here. Villa disappointed against Brentford with a draw, maybe their new players still taking time to gel with each other. I can see this being a goal fest and Chelsea will continue their good run of form into the Champions League this week.
Prediction: 4-2
Steviano
Chelsea underlined their title aspirations with a draw at a revitalised Anfield despite being reduced to 10 men. They face a Villa with the full set of win lose and draw performances so far. Whilst I think Villa will be comfortable this season I can’t see them being able to do anything in this one with the Blues far too string all round.
Prediction: 3-1
