Chelsea started today fourth in the table but as close to 15th as third-placed Aston Villa in terms of points
The Blues were level on points with in-form Villa – and above them due to a superior goal difference – at the end of November.
But Enzo Maresca’s world champions have won just one of their past four league games since and start today seven points behind today’s opponents.
Will they close the gap on Villa?
