Premier League: Chelsea vs Aston Villa 27/12/2025

Betting on Winner

This should be an absolutely great game of football on Saturday between two teams that are pushing their way up the table. Chelsea are in 4th spot in the league, yes, the World Club champions should be higher, but they are still great to watch currently. They showed real grit and determination in coming from 2 down at half time against Newcastle last week. The kids also did the business away at Cardiff 3-1 in the EFL cup despite a battling display from the League One leaders. They have a few missing at AFCON but that should not affect their squad with endless depth and quality across all areas of the pitch. Aston Villa on the other hand are absolutely flying at the moment. They have won 7 on the trot and are 3rd just 3 points behind league leaders Arsenal who they beat in that run. Everything is clicking currently, and as a Spurs fan I’m fully behind them making a title bid!! How sweet would that be for Unari Emery the man Arsenal sacked for not getting them the trophy! What I find impressive in this run is that apart from the 4–0 mauling of Bournemouth, all the wins in this exciting run have come by the odd goal. This is the sign of a team in sync with each other and getting the wins they need, however they can. This includes late goals, coming from behind and game management to hold on to tight leads. This match is going to be a test of the current run, a trip to Stamford Bridge however, has not been the forlorn hope that it was once. Sunderland and Brighton have stormed the walls and come away with 3 points already this season, and Palace and Arsenal both picked up points here. It will be a proper test of Villa’s title credentials and I’m backing them to pass with a win. You can get odds over 4.00 on this and it’s up at 4.31 with 1xBet.
