Match Stats

Enzo Maresca's side has put together an impressive run of four consecutive unbeaten matches in the Premier League. The Londoners edged out Newcastle and Leicester by identical 2-1 scorelines and earned draws against Manchester United and Arsenal (both 1-1). This consistency has strengthened their position in the top four and narrowed the gap to second-placed Manchester City to a minimum.


It's noteworthy that with 23 goals scored, Chelsea ranks among the league's highest-scoring teams—only Liverpool (24) and Tottenham (27) have netted more. Midweek, the team traveled to Heidenheim for a Europa Conference League clash, securing a 2-0 victory with a rotated squad.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa is enduring a rough patch, winless in their last four Premier League outings. At home, they drew with Bournemouth (1-1) and Crystal Palace (2-2), while suffering heavy away defeats to Tottenham (1-4) and Liverpool (0-2). This slump echoes the end of last season, when they also struggled to find form.


The winless streak has impacted their league standing, dropping them to eighth place. However, the situation isn't dire; they trail Chelsea, who occupy a European spot, by just three points. In midweek action, Aston Villa drew 1-1 at home against Juventus in the Champions League.
