Chelsea average just little over 4 goals per game against Villa. I honestly, do not see why Chelsea can not come close to it.

Currently, Chelsea´s squad is the strongest in several years, played fantastic first half & will whip Villa tonight, I feel.

If Chelsea can not beat teams like Villa at home, then I ask whom are they going to beat ?

[Pizy 18,419]

Bit anxious about this one. Only thing I'm slightly concerned about is our defense. Putting the right CB partnership out there will be extremely important.

[Special Juan 27,439]

I'm worried about the pace of Agbonlahor and sheer physical power of Bentekers

[John1611 77]

Mata has to start. We definitely want him to be match fit for the United game. He tortured United in almost every fixture between them and us since he arrived. If we want him to start at Old Trafford, it's preferrable that he starts today.

[Reddish-Blue 2,355]

If Cahill starts...Benteke and Gabriel will be delighted.

[DanishBlue 426]

I agree that our CBs are our concern in this match because of Benteke and Agbon, but that's it for me. I'm not shaking my pants (which I almost do everytime we play) so that must be a good sign to me. I feel that our attack is so dangerous that we will score more goals than Villa - and then it doesn't matter if our CBs fuck up as long as we score one more (obviously) which I think we will. 3-1 Chelsea.

I really hope Jose does something like this:

Cech

Azi-Iva-Terry-Bertrand

Essien-MVG

KDB-Oscar-Hazard

Lukaku

if I may, Jose said recently: I will never play two young kids on my team. Therefore, I assume MVG & KDB won´t be starting. Perhaps, only one of them ?

[Pizy 18,419]

Just don't start Torres. Unleash the fridge!

[DanishBlue 426]

When is a player "young"? He did play Oscar and KdB against Hull - that's two young kids in my world.

[Peppen 934]

He said that he would not give two young kids their debut in the opening game, and in the same team selection.

Sometimes, I wonder why folks in here attribute Villa as someone that could beat Chelsea at home.

If I remember correctly, Chelsea whipped them badly last season. Just because Villa had beaten Arsenal, it means zilch to me.

Relentless attack by Chelsea will be seen in the first 40 minutes tonight. No team can withstand that kind of pressure & Jose knows it. Therefore, I predict Chelsea will lead 2 zip by half time.

I agree. This is a game we should win. The 1 time they did beat us at home (3-1 back in December 2011) was when our team was in crisis and was struggling.

Anyway both teams have changed a lot since then.

It's going to be tough but still at the Bridge so not too much worries.

lol half our squad is kids...

I want to see some MVG, Essien and Lukaku, please.

LOL at people under-estimating villa. i predict a 2-0 or 2-1 hard fought victory which would be the complete opposite of hull game.

Well, that´s what I meant.
