Mauricio Pochettino is grappling with a fresh wave of injuries, with key players like Raheem Sterling sidelined, and Malo Gusto unable to take the field due to injury woes. However, there’s a silver lining as Cole Palmer makes a comeback after battling sickness, a boost for the team after his absence in the Emirates Stadium match.
For Chelsea, avoiding another defeat is imperative to secure their spot in European competition for the upcoming season. The pressure is on as they aim to clinch vital points to cement their qualification.
Meanwhile, Villa’s prospects are bright as they have a chance to solidify their position in the top four and secure a coveted spot in the Champions League. A win tonight would not only give them a crucial three points but also widen the gap to nine points over Tottenham, who are currently in fifth place. However, this advantage comes with the caveat of having played three more matches than their rivals.
