Aston Villa desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 27 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Aston Villa come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Aston Villa head into this on the back of a defeat, while Chelsea arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
