Chelsea's home advantage remains significant. They have secured seven points in their last three home league matches, keeping clean sheets against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton, demonstrating the strength of their pressing and defensive resilience at Stamford Bridge. Aston Villa are experiencing a rare period of strong form. After only collecting 3 points in the first five rounds of the season, they have remarkably turned things around under Emery, winning 11 of their last 12 league matches. They currently sit in the top three, just one point behind leaders Manchester City. This away match is particularly significant for Aston Villa: a win would extend their winning streak, create a new club record, and further validate their title-contending credentials. Chelsea has received positive news, with Liam Delap and Estevao Willian returning to full training, offering more options in attack. Furthermore, Cole Palmer's improved physical condition enhances the creativity of the attacking system. However, defensive issues persist for the team, as Levi Colwill's long-term absence leaves a gap in the left-back position, while injuries to D'ario Essugo and Romeo Lavia affect the midfield's defensive solidity. Match Prediction: Chelsea Win.0.5
