Quotes
“We must achieve our objectives creating a great atmosphere in Villa Park, a great atmosphere here because they were here with us," Villa manager Unai Emery said after his side's defeat to Wolves.
“And, as well, trying to support the players, help the players and again recover our good form, good mood. I am being positive because we are in the average but, of course, we must continue analysing, being so, so demanding how we can improve things and recover again our confidence.
“We have two competitions, really motivated, Europa League and Premier League and we are in a very good position to try to enjoy the way we’re doing.”
Head-to-Head
Villa edged out Chelsea 2-1 in their last Premier League meeting, which was at Stamford Bridge in December 2025.
Therefore, Villans are undefeated in their last six league matches against Blues, having recorded two successive wins.
