Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea will take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday.
Chelsea have not been in great form lately, and the Blues are under pressure to pick up points.
Although it is still quite early in the season, Chelsea are in danger of falling behind in the race for the Premier League top four.
The Blues have picked up five points from five matches.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are eight points behind London rivals Arsenal in fourth.
Aston Villa star Nicolo Zaniolo on Chelsea
However, it appears that Aston Villa playmaker Nicolo Zaniolo seems to view Chelsea highly.
Zaniolo is likely to start for Unai Emery’s side against Chelsea.
And, he thinks that Chelsea are a “great” side.
Zaniolo told Villa’s official website: “Chelsea are a great team. They have very good players.”
Prediction: Chelsea will win vs Aston Villa
We are predicting a win for Chelsea against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League on Sunday.
Chelsea are at home for the match, and they will be determined to get back to winning ways.
The Blues played out a goalless draw with Bournemouth away from home in the Premier League last weekend.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has had a full week to work with his players.
And we are confident that the former Tottenham Hotspur head coach will have drilled into his team how to get the job done against Villa.
Villa are doing relatively well this season, but they are not perfect.
Chelsea are creating chances, but the main issue is that they are not scoring enough goals.
Perhaps against Villa on Sunday, that will change.
