"Aston Villa face a tough challenge at Chelsea on Saturday (Sunday AEDT) after muscling their way into the Premier League title race alongside Arsenal and Manchester City. The Gunners, top of the tree at Christmas, host Brighton, while Pep Guardiola's in-form City travel to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool manager Arne Slot is grappling with a striker crisis after Alexander Isak fractured his leg, while Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes also faces a spell on the sidelines."
"One of the major reasons for their recent success is the form of England midfielder Morgan Rogers, who failed to register a single goal involvement in his first seven matches in all competitions. Now it is a different story: he has recorded 11 goal involvements in his past 15 appearances and the quality of his goals has been striking."
Aston Villa have moved into the Premier League title race alongside Arsenal and Manchester City and travel to Chelsea on Saturday (Sunday AEDT). Arsenal host Brighton while Manchester City travel to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool face a striker crisis after Alexander Isak fractured his leg, and Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes also faces a spell on the sidelines. Villa have won 10 consecutive matches in all competitions, their first such run since 1914. Morgan Rogers has recorded 11 goal involvements in his past 15 appearances and has seven Premier League goals from just 2.86 expected goals. Opta estimate Villa's title chances at five percent.
