Wetin we sabi be say Aston Villa no be small team again o! Unai Emery dey carry di squad like king, as dem don win seven matches back-to-back for di league and ten matches straight across all competitions. Dem too dey eye di top of dia Europa League group.
Make we go small history: Chelsea and Aston Villa don clash 168 times since 1907. Na Chelsea wey don win 70 of dem matches, while dem don draw 37 times. But as e be for dis last ten meetings, na four wins each and two draws for both sides.
