Joao Pedro has been directly involved in five goals in five Premier League appearances against Aston Villa [2 goals, 3 assists] – against no side has he been involved in more in the competition.

Tammy Abraham is looking to score in back-to-back home games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2019 when he was a Chelsea player – the second game of which was against his current side Aston Villa.

Having won their last two Premier League matches against Chelsea, Aston Villa are looking for three league wins in a row against the Blues for the first time since a run of four between 1978 and 1984.

Chelsea are winless in their last two Premier League visits to Villa Park [D1 L1], having won five of their previous six games there prior. The Blues haven’t lost consecutive away league games at Villa since losing in 2002-03 and 2003-04 under Claudio Ranieri.
