Tournament – English Premier League;
Date – 24/09/2023;
Kick-Off – 14:00 GMT;
Venue – Stamford Bridge (London).
Aston Villa have scored in all but one of their five premier league games this season, in fact they have been giving as much as they are getting, scoring eleven goals in the current campaign while also conceding ten. So with the fire power both teams possess we expect both teams to get at least one goal each in this game especially if they turn up as expected.
Chelsea are getting an average of 5.8 corners in their Premier league games while Aston Villa on the other hand are winning 4.4 corners on the average in their league games. So expect this game to see above eight corners especially if played at the expected intensity levels that both attacking sides tend to bring.
Chelsea like Manchester United have not really had the start the fans expected especially after the heavy spending and the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, who led Spurs to a 3rd place Premier league finish and a Champions league final as well. Just one win in five games (W1, D2, L2) is the result of their continued struggle in front of goal, having only scored five goals in their five games thus far. A premier league standing of 14th, with just five points from five games,is really not where they should be, the players and the coach know that. The fans will be clamoring for a response especially after the last two disappointing results against lowly teams, Poch and his charges will have to start showing return on investments soon
