Chelsea will be looking to extend their gap between themselves and Manchester United as they take on an Aston Villa side struggling to gather any form of momentum. Graham Potter's side are undefeated under their new boss and the new boss will be looking to narrow the gap on Tottenham Hotspur to just four points with a game-in-hand.
The Blues go into this match as the favourites with Betfred at 17/20 while Villa are 19/5 and a draw is 13/5. The visitors have picked up just one defeat in their last 10 Premier League meetings against the Villains - winning eight and drawing just once.
For Steven Gerrard, the pressure is starting to get intense for the former Rangers boss. Despite plenty of backing from the owners, he is yet to show any serious signs of improvements from what was hoped after Dean Smith's dismissal.
