Aston Villa vs Chelsea

Chelsea face Aston Villa in a crucial Barclay's Premier League encounter.

Under Jose Mourinho, the Blues never managed to win a game at Villa Park - can Guus Hiddink suceed where the Special One could not? In the side's first game under their new Dutch coach, the Blues will look to regain third spot and make one last push for the Premier League title.

It's not just Jose we've not won at Villa Park in years we're always shite there... This has turned into a massive game and i planned to go at the start of the season.. Gutted i can't

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Oh jesus we cant afford to slip up but Villa are in form and we seem unable to break teams down erm 1-1

[Milan 17,835]

We'll be without Ash who's suspended

[chrismada9 1,948]

Dare I say it, but we're the underdogs on two fronts. We haven't won at Villa park in years, plus Villa are in the form of their life.

It's going to be difficult, but I'm hoping Hiddink will steer the players in the right direction before the game.

Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Chelsea

[diskoviolente 425]

Yes, it is a tough game.

For us and for Villa.

A draw looks likely.

But i think we should get our heads down now. The team must stick together, go out there and show what they were and are still capable to do.

So play 4-4-2, with Quaresma coming on after one hour for Malouda

I think Villa's season could slowly be crashing in on itself due to the weight of expectation. They've done brilliantly up to now but going out of the FA Cup will do them a massive disservice. If we put in a performance, there's no reason we can't beat them. They were flying high back in October but we put in a stunning display and made them look ordinary.

going for a Chelsea win here played them off the park in october and their home form is not that great 2 - 1 win for the blues

[misschief 24]

Don't fancy our chances of getting anything out of this game. We just haven't looked good enough to get anything from the top four clubs this season nevermind our previous form against them.

So Paulo will be at LB, does anyone think otherwise?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'd be very surprised not to see him there, although PF is very reliable if you ask me. Was a brilliant buy.

[SuperSheva7 0]

I hope so, I haven't seen Paolo in ages and he's a competent replacement.

[Manson17 0]

Hate to say it, but if we lose this game, good bye ANY hopes for anything this season. and We'll have to focus on Arsenal not getting 1 up on us. Must win game. I predict a draw... 2-2..

[bombayblue™ 55]

I have a feeling, we're gonna give Villa a spanking...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'd like that, but I disagree that if we lose our hopes of silverware go up in flames - Villa have got some tough games themselves in fairness. They have to go to Anfield and Old Trafford, afterall.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Maybe we could just sing a song and poof we'll win!! HSM has turned my brain to mush!!

And hopfully hr'll play Analka and Drogba together seeing as it worked!!

[Shane 2,275]

Any tropheys? Thats abit harsh seeing as Villa aren't in the Champions League and out of the F.A Cup

We'll win 2-1

They'll go ahead, Then Lamps and Anelka, or Drogba.

Can Somebody please tell why Hiddink try Mancciene in the Center Back and Ibanovic on the Right back??

Where is Bosingwa... I know he has the weekend of but not this weekend... he is the best right Back?

Id alex is ankle problem them is Mancciene or Ibanovic the supplent... but why Bosigwa was no in there or is just me idea?

Pablo Ferreira will do the job... He is always a player that make the things right.... but he hasn`t play in a long time.

I like what Hiddink is trying to do...

4-4-2 in a Diamont in the middle whit ballack, Mikel, Lampard and Deco... Malouda is no good enough.... I hope Ribery will come next season ....
