However, because the pursuer is only one point away from Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel's team cannot afford to miss the season finale this weekend. Otherwise, the Blues can only defend the starting place for the premier class with the help of a shooter. After the strong performance during the week, however, it stands to reason that Chelsea will finish the season among the top three teams in the Premier League.

Aston Villa stats & current form
In the first half of the season Aston Villa was still one of the surprise teams in the Premier League, but on matchday 16, head coach Dean Smith's team was still among the top four teams in the English House of Lords. Since then, however, the Villans have given in and lost their good starting position from the first half of the season.

Meanwhile, the "Claret & Blue Army" is already in the middle of the table in the Premier League, with one matchday before the end of the season Aston Villa FC no longer has any major season ambitions. At the season finale against the Blues from London, the Villans can play freely. During the week, Tottenham felt that the AVFC was not going to deliver points straight away.

Can the Villans crack Chelsea's defensive bulwark?
Against the third place in the table from London, the offensive from the AVFC will be required, after all, the guests provide the second strongest defense in the Premier League. At home, Aston Villa had a record of 6-4-8 in 18 home games this season, and Smith's team have been without a win at Villa Park for four home games in a row.

So it would be all the more surprising if the ongoing home struggle against the form-strong Blues - based on the last 15 games in the Premier League - is ended. At the season finale, four players will not be available to the AVFC head coach, including three players with the potential to start.

In addition to the two midfielders Barkley and Sanson, Cash continues to pause on the final day of the game. Compared to the starting XI, who were able to prevail at the Spurs during the week, no changes are to be expected at the Villans. It is quite possible that Smith will start the rotary machine in the course of the game.

Defensive bulwark of the blues is a decisive success factor
In the Premier League, Chelsea are currently one of the strongest teams in the second half of the season, only Manchester City (42 points) scored more points in the second half than the Blues from London (38 points). Overall, Chelsea have a second round record of 11-5-2, surprisingly there was one of the two defeats in the second half of the season against the relegated from West Brom.
Free soccer predictions
If the strong second half of the season is built on, it is quite obvious that Chelsea will also be involved in the championship fight in the coming season. One of the success factors in the Blues was - especially under Thomas Tuchel - the defensive bulwark. Most recently, the Blues conceded four goals in a row, but before that, Chelsea conceded only one goal in six competitive games across all competitions.
Free soccer picks
There are currently three players on the injured list of third in the table, including midfield motor N’Golo Kante. It is quite possible that Tuchel will do without edge this week and spare his best six in the squad for the final in the Champions League. In return, Christensen and Havertz are returning to the squad this weekend.

Expected formation of Chelsea:
Mendy; Rudiger, Silva, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Jorginho, Kovacic, James; Mount, Werner, Pulisic

Bet base forecast & Aston Villa - Chelsea tip
During the week, Chelsea set the course for the showdown this weekend with their home win in the six-point game against Leicester. As the Premier League table shows, the Blues have the best cards in the race for places in the premier class. After all, third place in the table can be defended with an away win in Birmingham, one of the Blues' favorite opponents in the recent past.
Free soccer predictions
Because the season finale is insignificant for Aston Villa and the hosts also have to forego some important key players, we see the Blues at Villa Park as clear favorites. In the first half of the season, the AVFC scored against Chelsea, but at that time the Londoners were still under the leadership of Frank Lampard.
Free soccer picks
Under Thomas Tuchel, however, a clear upward trend can be seen in the third place in the table. In addition to the final in the FA Cup, Chelsea also qualified for the final in the Champions League, which will take place next week. Before that, Chelsea have to master the last matchday in the English House of Lords.
