Match chat here, what are people predictions?

Just hope Bent is fit for this game as Gabby is not a CF. Also i dont know whether i would prefer Hutton back or keep Collins in the team as they both make me nervous bt seeing as Collins was ok in the last game i would like to think AM keeps faith with him and also teaches Hutton a lesson for wreckless tackling. Marc had a poor game but usually does against big physical teams although i think he will have the beating of Cole. 2-3 Villa Bent to silence his doubters

Guzan
Cuellar Collins Dunne Warnock
Clark Petrov
Marc N'Zogbia Gabby
Bent

I think with bent upfront on his own we concede far to much possession because he can't hold the ball up very well and conceding possession to a team as good as chelsea will be fatal. We have to have a go at them and we may just get something from the game. Chelsea are a little of form at the minute so i will predict 1-1 if we attack.

^{3-0 i think . think we all know to who...}

[villa man91]

I just hope we dont give torres a few easy goals if he plays because we normally defend him quite well, The only problem i see is where is our next goal is gonna come from.

[carrzee10]

It won't be far off the team that played against Arsenal, big decision is whether Hutton plays or not, but Cuellar is a must somewhere in the back four. Gabby again to play upfront on his own, it's not his best position, but is a mile better than the Fonz.

Hutton needs to stay out IMO. But I can see AM just slotting him right back in....

[iKdj]

Keep Mata quiet, his the guy to watch out for..

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT. For some reason we have been almost a 'bogey team' to Chelsea (well, sort of). Even at the Bridge we have got improbable 4-4 and 3-3 draws. But this time is different. Chelsea are being criticised, Torres being murdered by the press. Aided and abetted by at least one mistake from a set piece, plus the return of Hutton (WHY did AM buy him???) I go 3-0 Chelsea too....with Torres (yes) scoring the third.......leaving us on 20 points at halfway...the minimum target for SURVIVAL.......

I would also play that team.
Feeling positive about this game tbh

[Loyalvillan]

We dont really expect much from this game apart from needing to keep the improvments we seen against Stoke and Arsenal and i will be happy.

2-0 or 2-1 to Chelsea for me i'm afraid!

[Fedup1]

2-1 to villa

[Loyalvillan]

2-1 to villa

i will fecking hold you to that mate!

[LaVillain]

Just dont feel good about this one...AVB is on thin ice and I think he'll send out an attacking team,especially with our home form...AM is liable to bring back Hutton and reform back to the defence that has cost us...Set pieces are a nightmare for us and I dont see the likes of Chelski not exploiting that, Guzan would be my choice as he seems to command his goal area but with AM you never know.....heart and history say Villa sneak it...form says Chelski take the 3 points.....just, not a walkover but Aresnil sneaked it...
