A festive Saturday of Premier League action is headlined by Chelsea’s battle with in-form Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Villa are absolutely flying again this season under Unai Emery and have climbed to third in the standings following an astonishing streak of seven successive wins in the Premier League. In that time they have beaten Arsenal and Manchester United and have emerged as a surprise title contender.

Whether their form can be sustained remains to be seen, but another sizeable test comes their way in the form of Chelsea this weekend. The Blues are an inconsistent force, but they boast immense quality across their squad and home advantage for the upcoming clash.

Chelsea are not in their best moment of the season, but they have won two of their last three across all competitions and exhibited their potential in the second half of their comeback draw with Newcastle United last time out. Villa will need to be at their best to conquer Enzo Maresca’s men.

Here’s how to watch the clash in west London.
