Chelsea will be hosting Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this weekend. It will be a good fixture for the fans considering the qualities of both sides. While the Blues would want to win to retain their position in the top four, the Villans have more reasons <\/span>to somehow collect all three points<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea vs Aston Villa: Talking Tactics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enzo Maresca<\/a> should be fielding a 4-2-3-1 formation to take advantage of their pacy wingers. Notably, they will surely like to overload the midfield to control the tempo of the game but it will not be an easy task for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unai Emery is also expected to name a 4-2-3-1 lineup to take on the Blues. He might ask his men to maintain their structure while Chelsea are attacking with numbers. However, they will <\/span>look for<\/span> opportunities to snatch the ball away and start their transition play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aston Villa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Not many injuries in the Villa\u2019s camp as Jacob Ramsey is the only absentee as he is recovering from a hamstring injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aston Villa Predicted XI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; Bailey, McGinn, Rogers; Watkins<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Men<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chelsea<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Marc Cucurella will be extremely useful in both aspects of the game while the dependency upon Cole Palmer cannot be <\/span>ignored so easily<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aston Villa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Youri Tielemans needs to buckle up and should be providing his heavy work-rate in the middle of the park. <\/span>On the other part<\/span>, Ollie Watkins<\/a> can prove to be the difference maker in the lineup.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
