Premier League - Chelsea vs Aston Villa

On Sunday, Chelsea take on Premier League strugglers Aston Villa at the Bridge. Both clubs come off the back of impressive wins, with Villa having earned an unexpected 3-1 victory against Liverpool at Anfield at the weekend, while Chelsea booked their place in the semifinals of the League Cup with a 5-1 thrashing of rivals Leeds United on Wednesday.



Villa have been slowly improving lately, and will certainly be up for this match against a Chelsea side whose results in the League have been less than stellar under their new manager. They'll also know that this same fixture last year when they visited West London as huge favourites to lose comfortably, they ended up 3-1 winners in what was without a doubt one of the lowest lows of the AVB era.

Ron Vlaar and Gabby Agbonlahor are doubts for the visitors, while Chelsea will be without John Obi Mikel, who serves the last game of his 3-match ban, as well as John Terry, Oriol Romeu, and possibly Daniel Sturridge.

CHELSEA XI: Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Luiz, Lampard; Mata, Hazard, Moses; Torres

SUBS: Turnbull, Ferreira, Ake, Ramires, Oscar, Marin, Piazon


Oscar dropped for Moses again
Studge not on the bench
Luiz in midfield

Expecting Lamps to score. His 500th match PL game it seems

ALso, I have a feeling Moses would suck today.

Like the move of Luiz in midfield, he is closest thing we have to a DM at the moment.

2-0 GET IN

No sturridge because a little birdie from the grapevine told me he will be making his move to liverpool come january, and with the oscar situation, i have no idea lol, but yay torres and dl4

Well, that was a tight affair then...

Ah brings back good memories lads. The last time Chelsea scored 8 goals they lifted the EPL trophy:

Amazing performance, great team effort contribution came all over the pitch.

First time ever in the PL for a team to have seven different scorers.

Oh you will. Just wait til the Hazard goal, you won't even need any pron tonight

Poor Guzan, should of saved Goals 1, 4, 5, and 8. Crazy after being goalie of the week twice in the last two months. Needed some help from his team to get in better defensive positions, but left him out to dry all game long.

I don't know what Villa was trying to accomplish.

Mmm, excellent avatar

To be fair to Guzan, his defence isn't helping.

Never watch a football game with a group of teenage girls guys.

Torres/Lampard/Luiz is fit, Oscar is hot, awwww that Piazon's so cute, Hazard & Mata are so sexy etc etc uggghh

Dem shirt sales though.
