Check out how to watch Aston Villa v Chelsea in the Premier League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Aston Villa will bid to consolidate fourth place in the Premier League table when they host Chelsea this weekend.
Unai Emery’s outfit are six points ahead of Tottenham in the chase for the last Champions League qualification spot, although Spurs have two games in hand – so it is imperative that another home victory is earned to pile more pressure on their rivals.
Last Sunday’s 3-1 defeat of Bournemouth was their 12th win of the season at Villa Park, and while 13 is considered an unlucky number, they will hope to tick it off against a Chelsea side that were thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal in midweek.
It was a result that damaged the Blues’ hopes of qualifying for one of the minor European competitions, and Mauricio Pochettino will hope the return of main man Cole Palmer from illness can spark an instant improvement from his side.
The hosts are bidding to complete the double over Chelsea for the first time since 1990, after Ollie Watkins netted the only goal of the game at Stamford Bridge last September, although the Blues have recent experience of winning at Villa Park courtesy of an FA Cup success in February.
