Aston Villa take on the visitors Chelsea in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 16th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa set no big goals this season. The “Villans” a year ago hired Steven Gerrard as a mentor. It was intended to replace its predecessor, which had failed without Jack Grealish. In general, he coped with dignity: he brought them out of a protracted decline, finished without any problems in the middle of the table. Now there was also a difficult segment at the start: 4 defeats in the first 5 fights (with the exception of Everton). Only in the autumn it turned out to reverse this unpleasant trend. In September, the Birmingham club sensationally tripped Manchester City, taking them 1-1. And then they were 1-0 with Southampton, and October started with 0-0 with Leeds. Still, sharing points with Nottingham Forest is also not something that can be considered as some kind of achievement.

Chelsea benefited from manager change. The Blues with Thomas Tuchel were able to win the Champions League. But with the new owner, the German could not find a common tongue. Moreover, the Blues failed in purely sporting terms. Graham Potter, who came unexpectedly to a new post, made his debut only with 1-1 against Red Bull (Salzburg) in the Champions League. But then, it seems, the young specialist got the most out of the pause caused by the “FIFA window” for the national teams. Since then, the results have only gotten better. With Crystal Palace they snatched the victory with a goal in the 90th minute. Then there were already more solid 3-0 with Milan and, finally, Saturday 3-0 with Wolverhampton. At the San Siro in the mid-week, the club continued to swagger, having issued confidetn 2-0. However, there was the sent-off of Tomori in combination with a penalty, which clearly simplified the task.
Aston Villa didn't lose last season under Gerard. But this was followed by Chelsea's 3-goal wins in the 2021/2022 league cup. Chelsea have gained momentum, and Aston Villa frankly does not shine. We bet that the visitors will win in Birmingham.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
