Bested only by European elites in Liverpool and Newcastle so far this season, Aston Villa will be full of belief in their trip to Stamford Bridge, the home of a Chelsea side who have won just one of their opening five games of the season, with that being a home win against relegation favourites Luton Town.

Villa to disrupt Blues on home turf.
To put it bluntly, Chelsea are an absolute mess at the moment. Despite spending over £1billion since the arrival of new owner Todd Boehly last summer, they have gone from being one of the biggest heavyweights in England to mere mid-table fodder. A stark turnaround is needed, but we don’t see it starting against Unai Emery’s side.
With the Villains losing just two games in all competitions this season, to Liverpool and Newcastle, they have been in remarkable form and boast big wins over Everton, Crystal Palace and an 8-0 aggregate win over Hibernian in the Europa League.
With Chelsea looking toothless in attack and shaky in defence, we expect the in-form Villa attack to continue their fine run in front of goal against a Chelsea team lacking in confidence on their way to a big win.

Duran a danger to Chelsea daggers.
A £14m arrival from MLS side Chicago Fire in January last season, 19-year-old Colombian wonderkid Jhon Duran has been in fine form in his first full English season.
He grabbed his first Premier League goal in the 4-0 thrashing of Everton, and has added a further two strikes to his account in just six matches this season, scoring an 87th minute equaliser against Crystal Palace to spark a remarkable 3-1 turnaround win.
With the young South American seeing more and more game time in the Premier League, growing in confidence and ability by the minute, we expect him to find the net in this big occasion to stamp his name into the ground firmly.

Cards clear for careless Conor.
Foul-machine Conor Gallagher always seems to make a name for himself in the referees book, and has given away more fouls than anybody in the Chelsea team, seeing the yellow card brandished on two occasions already.
After giving away 11 fouls in six matches already this season, the relentless midfielder always puts himself about, and is finding himself an easy bet where fouls and bookings are concerned.
With Aston Villa constantly full of energy and drive, we expect that to be a little too much for Gallagher, and we can expect to see him booked in this contest.
