Prediction Chelsea vs Aston Villa

Prediction Chelsea vs Aston Villa. Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas was the middle of the spotlight. He failed to present three victories in the last three Premier League. Three points from a maximum of nine points, it seemed to remove a series of three wins the Blues in all competitions.

However, Villas-Boas should not wait any longer if you do not want to step down from office. Winning is a price to die at home to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (31/12) evening.

It seems that Frank Lampard will still be the mainstay in the midfield of The Pensioners. He has scored five goals in his last two games against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. Despite performing poorly against Fulham, AVB requires experience and see to take Chelsea out of the tough times.

While Torres seems to be back on the bench. Instead, Didier Drogba will appear as a starter. Villas-Boas require the Ivory Coast striker's sharpness. Quick goals would undermine morale and team spirit made by Alex McLeish.

The Villans had never won in his last nine trips to London, the series three times and lost six times. They also never managed to find the net "The Blue" in 10 away games. But it can not be underestimated Chelsea Aston Villa despite appearing in front of his own supporters.

Darren Bent seems to be able to perform as reported by PA Sport. British attackers were absent in the last three Premier League because of a groin injury. The results of the last scan showed that the injury is not severe as previously thought. Bent is one of Aston Villa's top scorer with five goals this season collection. Fellow duet, Emile Heskey is also expected to appear again. Britain's original players have recovered from mild Achilles injury.

One more thing is for sure, Juan Mata and Raul Meireles will no longer freely puncture of the left wing. Villa right-back Alan Hutton laden experience ready to secure territory from the invasion of the retainer Chelsea.

What is interesting in this game, Didier Drogba is also likely to create a personal record before leaving Chelsea. Ivory Coast attacker is just one step away goals to-150 record. It's no secret that Drogba among Chelsea players will be sold on the stock later. The cause is because he will be absent long enough to defend the Ivory Coast in African Nations Cup 2012. Also Drogba elderly age. It is said that there are some clubs that are willing to hold them.

But before the separation occurs, the chance Drogba Chelsea entered the ranks of major players. The trick by scoring at least one goal at Stamford Bridge. When satisfied, he will equate incision England Peter Osgood (1964-1974 and 1978-1979), and Roy Bentley (1949-1956) who has collected 150 goals for Chelsea.
