Match Preview
Later Saturday evening, Stamford Bridge will witness a fierce battle between Chelsea and Aston Villa in Week 29 of the Premier League 2023. Both teams are ambitious to win in order to maintain their position at the top of the standings. This game will be the second meeting between the two teams this season after Chelsea slumped to a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park back in November.
Chelsea will try to extend their unbeaten run to the last four games when they host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Blues are in fine form under Graham Potter and will look to keep their top-four finish hopes alive. However, Everton halted Chelsea’s momentum before the international break with a 2-2 draw.
On the other hand, Aston Villa will also enter Gameweek 29 with an unbeaten record in their last four matches. The Villans have bounced back under Unai Emery, winning half of their games. The Midlands side entered the international break with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
The Blues are currently in 10th place with 38 points, eleven points behind fourth placed Tottenham. Chelsea cannot drop any more points if they want to compete to qualify for the Champions League or at least the Europa League next season.
We still have hope to finish in the top four. We know it will be difficult, but we have to try. We have to show good character and mentality in every game, said Graham Potter – Chelsea coach quoted from the club’s official website.
However, they must be careful with the threat of Aston Villa who are in 11th position. The Villans are in fine form under Unai Emery and are unbeaten in their last four matches. They also have high motivation to break into the top ten and show significant improvement from last season.
Ahead of facing The Villans, Chelsea faces injury problems ahead of the game against Aston Villa. Graham Potter may miss the services of up to ten first team players. Thiago Silva and Armando Broja remain out with their knee injuries.
Meanwhile, Edouard Mendy (fingers), Reece James (hamstrings), Wesley Fofana (hamstrings), Cesar Azpilicueta (blood clot), Mason Mount (stomach), Raheem Sterling (thigh), Kai Havertz (illness), and Pierre -Emerick Aubameyang (back) will undergo a late fitness test to determine their availability. However, most of these players will likely be available to face Aston Villa this weekend.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are also dealing with injury problems ahead of the match against Chelsea. Unai Emery will not be able to play Tyrone Mings (hamstring), Matty Cash (ankle), John McGinn (knee), Ollie Watkins (groin), Leon Bailey (hamstring) and Bertrand Traore (ankle).
