How to Watch Chelsea vs. Aston Villa on TV, Live Stream

A festive Saturday of Premier League action is headlined by Chelsea’s battle with in-form Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Villa are absolutely flying again this season under Unai Emery and have climbed to third in the standings following an astonishing streak of seven successive wins in the Premier League. In that time they have beaten Arsenal and Manchester United and have emerged as a surprise title contender.

Whether their form can be sustained remains to be seen, but another sizeable test comes their way in the form of Chelsea this weekend. The Blues are an inconsistent force, but they boast immense quality across their squad and home advantage for the upcoming clash.

Chelsea are not in their best moment of the season, but they have won two of their last three across all competitions and exhibited their potential in the second half of their comeback draw with Newcastle United last time out. Villa will need to be at their best to conquer Enzo Maresca’s men.

Here’s how to watch the clash in west London.

Chelsea finish off the calendar year by hosting Bournemouth in the Premier League, but their first fixture of the new year is much harder. The Blues visit Manchester City on Jan. 4 hoping for a first win at the Etihad in nearly five years.

Villa’s tricky fixture list doesn’t get any easier after their trip to Stamford Bridge, with a journey to Arsenal offering them the ultimate title test. A home clash with Nottingham Forest follows in their first game of 2026.
