Match Facts

Chelsea currently occupies the final Champions League spot with 31 points. Aston Villa sits just behind in 5th with 29 points, making this a direct battle for European positioning.

Chelsea is unbeaten in their last six home matches at Stamford Bridge. However, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa has been clinical on the road, boasting the third-best away record in the league this season.

The match features a clash between the league's most creative playmakers: Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, who leads the assist charts, against Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who has been in sensational goal-scoring form.

Historically, this has been a balanced fixture, but Aston Villa has won two of their last three visits to Stamford Bridge, proving they have the blueprint to frustrate the Blues in London.

Chelsea remains without captain Reece James, while Aston Villa is missing key defender Ezri Konsa due to a suspension picked up on Boxing Day.

Prediction of AI

Based on the current momentum and home advantage, the AI predicts a 2-1 victory for Chelsea.

While Aston Villa’s tactical discipline and counter-attacking threat under Unai Emery are formidable, Chelsea’s individual attacking depth and recent defensive stability at home are expected to be the deciding factors. However, given the high stakes and the quality of both squads, a 1-1 draw is a highly probable alternative if Villa can successfully neutralize Cole Palmer.
