"Aston Villa are struggling with no wins in their last seven games, while Chelsea, sitting third in the table, will be eager to increase Villa's road defeat tally to four."
"Jackson has been in excellent form, with a shot on target in every game this season. Against Villa, who concede nearly 4 shots on target per game, he’s likely to make it fourteen straight."
"Diego Carlos has been booked four times in his last nine games and has committed a foul in every start this season. With Chelsea’s aggressive play, he could be the next centre-back to see a card."
