Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Premier League preview
Villa's season is threatening to get away from them. While it's true that long-term injuries to midfielders Boubacar Kamara, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn represent a loss few teams could handle, it's also true that other managers would have addressed the last couple of months differently than Unai Emery.
The Villa boss has proven his worth. They wouldn't have been fourth or indeed third without him. Yet questions over the continued selection of Ollie Watkins and the regular use of Leon Bailey barely scratch the surface of growing fear among fans that the direction of travel is irreversible.
Emery's football is what it is. There's little point arguing the toss over tempo and intent. These methods are Emery's and he owns the fact that Villa are even in the Champions League conversation too.
Losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers, though? That's the kind of rock bottom that can force a manager's hand, at least in the short term.
Tickets
Even Villa's home form has deserted them. It has been the bedrock of Emery's tenure but the shine has been rubbed off. Liam Rosenior and Chelsea will fancy their chances of closing that gap to three points.
The Blues were slight favourites at Stamford Bridge in late December but succumbed to a 2-1 defeat that looked extremely unlikely at half time. After a dominant first period, Chelsea conceded a pair of Watkins goals in the second half.
Chelsea were unbeaten in six Premier League matches before Sunday's defeat at leaders Arsenal, and Rosenior knows what's at stake at Villa Park tonight.
He's also aware that Villa are wounded. They need to find a response after the most humiliating defeat of the season. If they get it right, Chelsea have a game on their hands. If not, the Champions League will look as far away as it has for months.
