Match Day Moments – Aston Villa (A) – Premier League

|

It has been an age since we last saw Chelsea play in the Premier League.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, for now, altered the way the game is played to such an extent that when Chelsea emerge from the tunnel, at Villa Park, this afternoon, they’ll be greeted by the sight of an empty stadium.

But there is still a huge amount to play for.

Our season resumes with Chelsea lying in 4th place in the table and with a great chance of securing Champions League football for next season.

However, our opponents, Aston Villa, also have a lot to play for, their Premier League status is under threat with Villa occupying one of the relegation places.

It promises to be an interesting 90 minutes and, here at Vital Chelsea, we’ve revived our Match Day Moments feature enabling you to offer your thoughts on, but not limited, the following:

1 – The build-up to the big game.

2 – The starting eleven selected by Frank Lampard.

3 – The action as it happens at Villa Park.

4 – Your thoughts in the immediate aftermath of the final whistle sounding.

Up the Chels!

    I hope we win today at villa Park.

    If we can dream of qualifying for champions league next season, it starts today.. Some results had already gone our way, and I hope we take 100% advantage of it…

    It won’t be an easy game, since some results had already gone villa’s way this weekend.

    It comes down to who wants it most, less mistakes, concentration and endurance from the boys. Intelligence.

    Just win, win… And win…. Go Chelsea.

    Finally !! It was a long wait, lets hope we start with 3 pts.

  • ZeeNut says:

    First 10 minutes we have been on top … lets hope it translates in to chances & goals

  • ZeeNut says:

    Still on top but no good final ball

  • ZeeNut says:

    Much better after the drinks break

  • ZeeNut says:

    Lots of attacking moves from our right flank but no final touch so far

  • ZeeNut says:

    0-1 …. totally against the run of play

  • ZeeNut says:

    Defensive marking screws up yet again

  • ZeeNut says:

    0-1 at the half … we need to step up …. our left flank providing nothing, all the good work from Willian & Mount from the right

  • ZeeNut says:

    We could be just 2 pts ahead of the chasing pack going into 2 very tough matches vs the numbers 2 & 3 …. or we can come back and get to within 3 pts of Leicester & 5 pts ahead of the chasing pack …. fingers crossed it is the latter

  • ZeeNut says:

    Alonso is so infuriating …. gets picked out so many times but never puts a cross in !

  • ZeeNut says:

    Pulisic & Barkeley on for RlC & Kovacic

  • ZeeNut says:

    Pulicic 1-1 !!

  • ZeeNut says:

    Giroud 2-1 !!

  • ZeeNut says:

    Villa almost equalise of a set-piece … clear that we are in all sorts of trouble of set-pieces …. we need that 3rd goal !

  • ZeeNut says:

    Villa soak up a lot of pressure & almost equalise again

  • ZeeNut says:

    We need that 3rd

  • ZeeNut says:

    Reece James on for Willian to see out 5 minues ET

  • ZeeNut says:

    Reece James has been dreadful these last few minutes

  • ZeeNut says:

    Given the ball away 3 times for no good reason by my count . And this last one has given Villa a chance to grab a point
