After suffering a devastating 5-0 defeat against Arsenal, Chelsea seeks redemption as they clash with Aston Villa this weekend.
Chelsea have been handed a boost ahead of their Premier League trip to Aston Villa on Saturday evening as Cole Palmer was spotted in training on Thursday ahead of the game at Villa Park on Saturday night.
The 21-year-old has scored 26 goals while registering a further 11 assists in just 47 appearances for club and country this season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, previously unbeaten since February, faced a crushing blow in the recent London derby.
Now, Chelsea must swiftly regain their winning momentum to secure a coveted European spot, but their path is arduous against the formidable Villa, eyeing a top-four finish.
Key to Villa’s hopes is Ollie Watkins, a contender for the Golden Boot with 19 goals this season, trailing just behind Haaland and Palmer. Watkins, in the form of his career, aims to extend his scoring streak against Chelsea, having netted in their previous encounters.
With eyes on an England Euro squad spot, Watkins is poised to make history, aiming to become Villa’s first player to score in three consecutive matches against the Blues.
