Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 18 of the Premier League, scheduled for December 27, 2025, at 17:30 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and NOW TV. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is expected to be electric as two of the league’s top four sides go head-to-head in a London showdown. Currently, seven points separate these neighbors, with the visitors looking remarkably sharp. In this article, you’ll discover Premier League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Chelsea have managed to keep clean sheets in their last two home matches at Stamford Bridge.
- Aston Villa are currently on a 10-match winning streak across all competitions under Unai Emery.
- Morgan Rogers has more goal involvements than any other English player in the league this season.
- The Blues are undefeated this season against teams that started the matchday above them in table.
- Villa have won 12 of their 21 away games in London since Emery took the helm.
- Chelsea will be without key defensive figures Levi Colwill and Roméo Lavia for this massive clash.
Enzo Maresca’s side has been a bit of a riddle lately. They held Arsenal to a draw and beat Everton, but then stumbled with a 2-2 draw against Newcastle after trailing by two. Still, there is a silver lining for the Blues. They seem to play their best football when facing the “big” teams that sit above them. They’ve already taken points off Liverpool and Arsenal this year. It’s hard to say how this will end, but the return of Cole Palmer to the starting XI is a massive boost. Without Levi Colwill in the backline, though, things might get a little shaky. Can Maresca really find the tactical balance to stop a red-hot Villa?
Chelsea host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge, aiming to halt the visitors' incredible ten-match winning streak. While Enzo Maresca welcomes back Liam Delap and Estevao Willian, the Blues remain without Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia. Third-placed Villa, led by Unai Emery, face their own injury hurdles with Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings sidelined, making this top-four clash a critical test of squad depth for both sides.
When looking at the playing styles, this match is a recipe for goals at both ends. Chelsea under Enzo Maresca love to dominate possession and push players forward, often leaving space behind for counter-attacks. This is exactly where Aston Villa thrives, especially with Morgan Rogers in the form of his life. Villa have scored in nearly all of their recent matches during their 10-game winning streak. However, Villa’s away defensive stats show they concede an average of 1.38 goals per game on the road. Chelsea’s attacking metrics are also healthy, with an average of 15.13 shots per match at Stamford Bridge. Given that both teams are missing key defensive personnel like Colwill and Mings, it is hard to imagine either side keeping a clean sheet. The historical trend and the current tactical setups suggest a high-scoring affair where both teams find the net.
