Chelsea take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 1st at Stamford Bridge (London).
Finally, Chelsea are starting to play interestingly towards the end of the season. At least, the matches of the Londoners are worth watching, and they have started to achieve results. There are only 4 points left until the seventh place, which would give them the right to play at least in the Champions League. There is still time for the "pensioners" to fly into the top 7. Wins have started to come. Taking into account the 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Graham Potter's wards have won three out of their last four matches. In addition to the victory over the German "bumblebees," they also had successful matches against Leeds (1-0) and Leicester (3-1) in the Premier League. Moreover, they missed the victory over Everton only in the 90th minute of the previous round. It seems to me that for such a quite good coefficient, it is possible to believe that Chelsea will beat Aston Villa at home.

Aston Villa are located next to the "pensioners" in the table and hasn't known defeat for a long time in the championship. After losing three matches in a row to Leicester, Manchester City, and Arsenal, the Birmingham team gained 10 points out of 12 possible in subsequent league matches. But let's be objective - all the opponents in these matches for the "lions" were, frankly speaking, weak - Crystal Palace, Everton, West Ham, and Bournemouth. All the listed teams are fighting for survival and are either in the relegation zone or next to it in the table. Aston Villa has already suffered 11 defeats in the current season in the Premier League, six of them were away matches. I strongly doubt that Unai Emery's wards will even get a draw in the capital.
It seems to me that Chelsea, who has finally gained some momentum, is quite capable of beating Aston Villa at home, who should have lost in the championship already. Judging by the table, the opponents are roughly equal in strength this season. In such matches, the factor of the home field and the class of individual performers comes to the fore. Both of these criteria are in favor of the Londoners. Moreover, Aston Villa suffered three defeats from Chelsea in their last four official head-to-heads matches. And if we only consider head-to-heads in the Premier League, without taking into account the cup, in the last three of them, the "pensioners" were stronger: 3-0, 3-1, 2-0.
Prediction for the match: Chelsea to win.
