We will explore odds from Yangasport and Melbet sportsbook for our betting tips for this fixture.
ASTON VILLA
Since the arrival of Steven Gerrard, there’s been a newfound belief in the Aston Villa camp. The Villans have picked up nine points in their last five games, a tally that is bettered by only leaders, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs and Man United.
In total, Villa have won four of the six games they have played under Steven Gerrard’s guidance but they have also lost two and those were narrow defeats against title contenders, Man City and Liverpool.
When both sides met earlier this season at the Bridge, a brace from Lukaku and one from Kovacic condemned Villa to a 3-0 defeat but a lot has changed since then and with Chelsea’s recent struggle, the home side will fancy their chances.
CHELSEA
The Blues have had to deal with a lot recently, from injury to some key players to a covid-19 outbreak in their camp, all of these problems have coincided with a dip in form for the European champions who lost top spot in that time.
Chelsea have managed just one win in their last five games in all competitions and that was the hard-fought 3-2 win against out of sort Leeds United. Since that win, Chelsea have had to settle for draws against Everton and Wolves.
Tuchel has complained about the lack of first-team players in his to execute games following their recent covid issues but the German will have to improvise and present a good team if they are to return to winning ways at Villa.

ASTON VILLA vs CHELSEA BETTING TIPS
Chelsea are desperate for a win having recorded only one win in their last five games in all competitions. Tuchel’s men cannot afford to drop any further points during this hectic run of fixtures where there are quite a number of points on offer.
Aston Villa are also in need of a win to maintain their steady run in the league. They defeated Norwich 2-0 last time out and they will be looking to follow that up with another positive result against the struggling West Londoners.
Both sides are likely to go all out in this encounter and there are likely to be quite a lot of corner kicks to be conceded by both teams. Both sides have racked up quite a number of corner kicks in their respective games this season and we reckon there will be over 9.5 corners valued at 1.62 on Yangasport.
For our second tip, we are looking at the goals market and this fixture could be promising in that regard. Both sides have been scoring goals and also not able to keep their rearguard tight in recent games.
Given the run of form of both teams, this game is set up for goals and the odds for both teams to score at 2.03 on Melbet is very handsome. You can find more Premier League tips available for free on our page.
