Chelsea travel to Villa Park on Sunday as they look to make it five consecutive wins in all competitions.

Villa will be under pressure to win at home, and I can see the nerves getting the better of their players." Chelsea have not got the accolades they've deserved, to be honest - they've done the double over AC Milan and they beat Wolves comfortably. "Chelsea were wasteful last week, and could've beaten Wolves by any score if they'd taken their chances. "I'd said they had a big week coming up and all of a sudden, they've done the business - fair play to them. Although they're unbeaten in their last four games, Villa haven't been picking up many points under Steven Gerrard and the former Liverpool captain is under tremendous pressure. Graham Potter's side ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night and the Blues will be confident about getting another three points come Sunday.

Gerrard brings in Leon Bailey and Danny Ings up front. Today’s hosts have won only one of the last 10 league meetings against Chelsea, who draft in Marc Cucurella, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kai Havertz. A dire draw at Nottingham Forest on Monday night stretched their unbeaten run to four matches, but only two wins and seven goals in nine outings this term is a poor return for an expensively-assembled squad.
