I don’t think Aston Villa or Chelsea can win the Premier League this season though Chelsea might be looking like they are resurrected and scoring goals, Enzo Maresca still have so much to prove before I can believe that Chelsea is back to their glory days.
Aston Villa are a good team but certainly not good enough to compete against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. This season, all three clubs look like title contenders. The season is still young, we will find out as the season progress which teams will be able to stand the tough fixtures and fatigue when it begins to set in.
The season is very long to strike out opportunities of winning Premier League for Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Remember many years ago, Leicester City with worse player resources than Aston Villa and Chelsea, won Premier League. If they could do it, Chelsea and Aston Villa can do it too because they have better player resources than Leicester City and with Aston Villa, they shown competitiveness and improvements in recent seasons. These clubs are completely different and more competitive than Leicester City years ago with regular fight in relegation zone.
I will be surprised if either Chelsea or Aston Villa winning Premier League this season, but less shocked than Leicester City's magic season years ago.
