Aston Villa vs Chelsea LIVE!
In-form Chelsea headed to the Midlands on a busy Premier League Sunday looking to continue their impressive form under Graham Potter and heap more pressure on Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard. The Blues remain unbeaten under their new manager and have now won all of their last five matches across all competitions after a 2-0 triumph here, though it wasn’t their finest display.
Villa, by contrast, stay 16th in the top-flight and just one point above the relegation zone amid growing criticism of Gerrard’s approach. A goal in each half from Mason Mount proved decisive on the day at Villa Park, with visiting goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in inspired form during a memorable first-half outing.
Chelsea were second best for large parts of a game where they struggled to find the right system and badly missed the injured Reece James, but despite those struggles they would not be denied to stay fourth and inch closer to London rivals Tottenham, on whom they have a game in hand.
