Aston Villa accepted in the middle of the week on her field the leader of the Liverpool Championship and won a worthy draw against the team of Arne Slot, at some points even directly claiming three points. However, there is another side of the coin: the failure in the fight against the current leader of the tournament table for the victorious result means that Birminghamians do not know the victories in the Premier League for five matches in a row.

A noticeable decline in the form of Birmingham’s advantage in the fight for the place in the Champions League, but today’s potential victory for Villa Park will allow the Unai Emery team to reduce the lag from Chelsea to only one point.

Londoners also experience a difficult period, especially given the field matches. “Pensioners” have not won any of the last six guest matches in all tournaments, and the Maresska’s wards need to raise the moral spirit before the final segment of the season. The victory over the villa could be exactly the impulse they need.

Two in a row of defeat from Brighton only increased the pressure on Chelsea, which is extremely necessary to obtain a positive result on Saturday. However, it will be not easy for Villa to Villa – the team is not in the best shape and has problems with the implementation of moments, especially after Nicholas Jackson’s injury. Birminghamians, in turn, may experience fatigue after a grueling match with Liverpool, but still have a chance to take advantage of the opponent’s instability, because their attacking line is capable of creating problems for any opponent.

According to bookmakers, it is not easy to determine the favorite of the future confrontation. Yes, to victory Aston Villa The ratio of 2.68 is offered, while the potential success of Chelsea is estimated to be 2.60. The likelihood of a draw is represented by a factor of 3.55.
