An intriguing match will take place at Stamford Bridge between the Club World Cup champions and Aston Villa. While Chelsea salvaged a 2-2 draw at St. James' Park, leaving them 10 points off the top, Aston Villa are dreaming of being crowned Premier League champions. Their title hopes look promising after going into Christmas just three points behind Arsenal.
Chelsea return to west London, where they last defeated Everton, 2-0, with goals from Palmer and Gusto. Although Chelsea have only managed 14 out of a possible 24 points at home, they have rediscovered their defensive solidity on the pitch. Before betting against Everton, they held Arsenal to just one goal, five days after their 3-0 Champions League victory over Barcelona.
Interestingly, Aston Villa's winning streak hasn't affected the fact that Chelsea are the overwhelming favorites to win on Saturday, according to pre-match odds. With Aston Villa's unlikely title hopes hanging in the balance, Matchday 18 against Chelsea takes on added importance, as Arsenal and Manchester City also face tough matches against Brighton and Nottingham Forest, respectively.

Our Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction
Neto, Garnacho, and Joao Pedro in attack, along with James, Fofana, Chalobah, and Cucurella in defense, plus a midfield finally free of injuries and suspensions, make for a formidable Chelsea side and the bookmakers' favorite against Aston Villa.
However, even a peak Chelsea team cannot guarantee victory over the in-form Aston Villa. Tielemans, Rogers, and Watkins are a trio of players who are perfectly in sync; for this reason and more, the odds on a possible draw or defeat for the visitors on Saturday are even more valuable.
Our prediction for Chelsea vs Aston Villa is: Aston Villa to win or draw.
