Soon after the match between Manchester United and Swansea City, Chelsea which has slipped down to 7th position on the points table faces Aston Vila seated at 16th position Sunday afternoon at Stamford Bridge today.
The Blues have failed to win their last four Premier League home games, their longest winless streak at Stamford Bridge since September 2002. If they fail to win on Sunday it will be their worst home run in the top flight since a 12-match streak between November 1994 and March 1995, reports BBC.
Interestingly, it is 250 minutes since their last league goal at Stamford Bridge, which was scored by John Terry in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool on 11 November.
As for Villa, their last five matches at Stamford Bridge have produced a total of 28 goals. That run includes 3-3 and 4-4 draws (in 2011 and 2007 respectively), a 7-1 defeat in 2010 and a 3-1 victory last season.
Something noticeable in today's match will be Terry's absence from the match as his recovery from knee surgery is proving more problematic than first thought and he will definitely miss Sunday's Barclays Premier League game against Aston Villa.
The likely placement of probable starters of match this afternoon is as under:
