Chelsea and Aston Villa face off in a crucial match this weekend at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea has been doing well lately. They have not lost in their last five matches in all competitions. Recently, they won 2-0 against Heidenheim in the UEFA Conference League. Even though they changed some players for that game, the win helped them stay on track. Their only loss in the Premier League this season was a close 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.
On the other hand, Aston Villa is struggling. They have not won in their last seven games across all competitions. Their most recent match was a tough draw against Juventus in the Champions League, where they gave up a late goal. However, Villa has had some good results at Stamford Bridge in the past, which gives them some hope.
The match is set for Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1:30 pm GMT. Fans can watch it live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. For those who want to watch on the go, the game will also be available on the Sky Go app.
Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, is likely to bring back his best players after rotating the squad in the last match. Key players like Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo, and Nicolas Jackson are expected to play. Additionally, Romeo Lavia, Malo Gusto, and Marc Cucurella might also be included in the squad.
Aston Villa has some injury concerns with Amadou Onana and Jacob Ramsey. Both players are being checked to see if they can play. Ross Barkley, who used to play for Chelsea, is available and may be excited to face his former team.
While Chelsea seems likely to win based on recent form, Aston Villa’s history at Stamford Bridge suggests the match could be closer than expected. Chelsea needs to show their ambition for a top-four finish in this game. For Aston Villa, a good result could be just what they need to turn their season around.
