I would say Chelsea and Aston Villa are very similar. Both of these teams are not very strong. But their performance is somewhat stable. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa have lost just one match each. Both of these teams are relatively weak in attack. Chelsea players scored 16 goals in 7 balls and Aston Villa players managed to score 12 goals in 7 matches. At the same time, the defense of these two teams is not very strong.
Chelsea will play their next match against Liverpool. The chances of Chelsea winning against Liverpool are very low. My guess is that Liverpool will win the match. But if chelsea can win this match then i would say we will see chelsea team in top four of points table this season.
Aston Villa are better than Chelsea base on performance, they are ready to get 3pt more than the Chelsea side. I think the Villains have faced difficult opponents than Chelsea and they made a good account of themselves but Chelsea have more easy games than Aston Villa but they fail to get something out of it. If you ask me I'd rate Aston Villa ahead of Chelsea because I see the Aston Villa team as one that's consistent this season while Chelsea are finding it hard to be stable, they (the Blues) are like a switch, off and on.
Playing against Liverpool would be tougher than what they played against Nottingham Forest, if Chelsea couldn't beat 10men Nottingham Forest is it a complete Liverpool team that they can get all 3pt? It can't happen, at this point Chelsea can't withstand the force of Liverpool and Slot would do anything to make sure he maintains that number 1 spot on the log, losing or dropping point is not an option for the new manager of the Reds. It would be another win for Liverpool but the game might not be as strong as we expected, for me I'd say a 2-1 win for Liverpool against Chelsea.
