Results when the two clubs have played against each have often been full of twists and turns as the Chelsea vs Villa live stream can often be hard to guess and fathom. Nobody will forget the 8 goal battle that resulted in last season’s fixture. Both teams exchanged blows but had to come off the pitch all square. The funny thing was that defending was something that both teams were supposed to be better at. Many were surprised that each team would have shipped in the high number of goals. To have this happened would probably have meant a once in a lifetime occurrence. But ask any fan of either team and they would have agreed that they got a great degree of enjoyment with the match’s many goals and with neither of their team losing. However, the result did prove damaging for both teams in the end. Chelsea could not win the title while Aston Villa failed to finish high enough to make it to the Champions League.

Things were back to normal when the Blues went to Villa Park for the first match between the two. Chelsea’s title challenge looked to be going off the rails at the end of the match. Chelsea ended up beaten by Aston Villa for the first time in recent seasons. Carlo Ancelotti had to endure a tame surrender as the Blues lost by two Villa goals. Belief grew on the fact that it represented a Villa side that could challenge strongly in the English Premier League this season. The objective of the club was to qualify for the Champions League and Martin O’Neill wanted his players to meet it. The manager had spent large sums of money on them and he expected them to return the faith.

The Blues quickly shot them down when Villa went to Stamford Bridge for the second match. Villa did not know what hit them as they were left stunned by the cruel execution. Frank Lampard blasted in four goals as the Blues ran out 7-1 winners on the day. Martin O’Neill described it as one of his worst days as a manager and could hardly muster a response. All his teams in the past are incredibly resilient and never shy away from a fight. What conspired in the match was a team that had everything that bore no sign of their manager’s qualities. The Blues have become even better with that result under their belt. While the Villans have become increasingly distraught with nothing left to play for except the FA Cup.
