Paul Merson and Chris Sutton disagree on Chelsea vs Aston Villa score prediction

Chelsea return to Premier League action this weekend with a tricky-looking clash against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. The two sides are separated by goal difference either side of the halfway mark in the Premier League table.

A defeat on Saturday evening would see Graham Potter's side slip into the bottom-half of the table with just 10 games remaining. The international break has done little to ease concerns of a potentially difficult end to the campaign after several players suffered injury and fitness setbacks, although Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Raheem Sterling were all spotted in training during Tuesday's session.

Pundits Paul Merson and Chris Sutton disagree over how they see the result panning out this weekend. While Sutton has more confidence in Potter's side, having gone unbeaten across all four matches in March, Merson was less convinced the Blues will pick up all three points in west London.
