[Madmax 9,219]

Wow. Hope things turn out well for him.

[TomCFC 356]

Horrific news.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Bloody hope fingers crossed for him and that they've caught it early..horrible news

[Jase 43,479]

Villa will probably be well up for this now.

I know its our bogey ground but they are wrecked with poor form and injuries. If we cant beat them tomorrow we may as well chuck the towel in on 4th

I've just heard about Petrov... http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/mar/30/aston-villa-stilian-petrov-leukaemia

terrible news...

[milanoww 81]

Shocking news... Get well soon Stanley!

[Manuf 1,448]

It's a terrible news but looking at the bright side at least he'll get a proper treatment with best doctors unlike many poor people dying in public hospitals because of it.

Only once in 13 years have Chelsea emerged victorious from Villa Park

Hence, the 1 win from our last 12 visits there. Every other of the Top 7 team this season have beaten Aston Villa comfortably and we suffered an embarrassing defeat at home to such a poor team! Pathetic really.

Or just the opposite, we'll never know until after the match.

[Cripen 110]

I know it is hard to play for us at that stadium, but Villa is in bad form and they have numerous of injures... please rest Mata

[Ollie 4,400]

Think it'll be a draw. I know Villa have been in crap form but when have we gone there in the last 14 years and said, 'shit, Villa are a great side, we have no chance'? We've always been favourites on paper. Now their captain has Leukaemia they'll fight even harder for him. I predict a boring, uninspiring 0-0 stalemate.

Even when they were piss poor and we were awesome, we never won there. Not in 03/04, 04/05, 05/06, 09/10.

Considering we just beat Benfica i would hope we grab 3 points from Villa.

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

My team:

Cech

Ivanovic - Terry - Cahill - Bertrand

Mikel - Romeu

Sturridge - Lampard - Kalou

Torres

How much effect will the Petrov affair have on them? Will we face a team determined to win or a team thats got its attention fixed on their sick captain?

It could be either way but all I know is, we better be up for this! If the players perform to their maximum, then I'm sure we can get that 3 points regardless of which Villa turn up.
