Chelsea vs Aston Villa predictions
This clash also comes very quickly after their EFL semi-final clash with Middlesbrough on Tuesday night, which leaves the move to a Friday evening fixture even more puzzling.

The Blues lost the first round 1-0 giving the Championship side a huge chance at making it to Wembley Stadium, going into the second leg.

Chelsea will want to keep their trophy hopes alive no matter what happens, with a win here, but it’s a lot to ask for especially against a strong Villa side.

It does seem on that basis that Villa are overpriced to win away from home, in fact they’ve lost the last two games at Stamford Bridge to Villa, in April and September in 2023.

While Villa come into this having not played since January 14 in a 0-0 draw against Everton so will be much fresher.

📝 Chelsea vs Aston Villa betting tips
Chelsea are strong currently but with the FA Cup presenting a multitude of opportunities, Villa can come into this with nothing to lose and at a huge price of 12/5 to win in 90 minutes to capitalise on a cup streak.

Aston Villa to win – 12/5
Chelsea have won four of their last five games in the Premier League indicating a big change in fortunes since the start of the season.

They’re up to ninth place as a result but still have a long way to go.

That said, they’ll be contending just three days after facing Boro in the semi-final of the EFL Cup and may not put out as strong of a team to face Villa as a direct impact.

Villa are up in fourth holding on to their European spot currently but aren’t on a run of wins like they have been.

But they’ve won their last two games against Chelsea, both of which were away from home in the league, and can put out their top side to achieve that.

Ollie Watkins to score – 13/8
Chelsea’s two top signings of the summer, strikers Christopher Nkunku and Nicholas Jackson are out on international duty, whereas Aston Villa can always rely on Ollie Watkins to pop up with goals and that can be the case again this weekend.

The Englishman has netted nine and assisted eight in the Premier League in just 21 appearances so far.

He’s played the Blues seven times across his career and has netted twice in the last two meetings at Stamford Bridge, when they won 2-0 in April and 1-0 in September.
