Chelsea played ok but still a edgy contest!!!

Think Chelsea will be a much better team with more stability!!!

Villa all the way, they have so much to play for.Martin O’Neil has worked so hard this season to get Villa where they are today,he is not about to put his hard work into jeopardy.Villa have a great home record this season.
Even though Chelsea have Guss hiddink,as their new manager who knows what he is capable of producing.
I see it being a good entertaining game well worth 90mins of my day anyway.

Chelsea for 2nd? 3rd, if they sort themselves out (which they should).

Villa / Arsenal should be interesting.

For the match, I’m not sure why people are counting Chelsea out, they seem to have no long-term perspective on the game.

Having said that, if Chelsea lose here they’d have kissed a #2 finish goodbye and would be hard-pressed to get to #3.

Aston Villa have no need to prove themselves anymore, and I see their side this season more than a match for Chelsea. This should be a highly entertaining game as both teams will play the counter game, and with so much skill on the field it should be an entertaning 90 minutes!

I think Chelsea will rally as the season closes out. If Terry and Carvalho stay fit and Hiddink can sort out Drogba, Ballack produces something like the kind of form he was in in the run-in last season and Essien gets back to fitness in March, they could go on a run.

The title is gone in my view but I’m still tipping them for 2nd.

Villa have had a great season but I’m expecting them to fall off the pace a bit and finish 4th (or possibly 5th depending on what Arsenal do).

Either way it will have been a great season for them.

On the match, I’m going to stick my neck out and predict a Chelsea win.
