After what seems like an age, the Premier League returns this weekend as Chelsea FC face a troubled and relegation-destined Aston Villa side.
We all the hate the international break. The good news, though, is that domestic football will now enjoy an uninterrupted run through to the end of the season. Chelsea FC kick off the Premier League’s return by taking on Aston Villa in the early Saturday fixture.
The Blues have nothing to play for and thus fans don’t know what to expect. Villa, meanwhile, are all but relegated and have just parted ways with manager Remi Garde. Essentially, this could be as dead a game as you have ever witnessed.
With that in mind, let’s predict how Chelsea will line up.
