Villa have only lost against Liverpool and City since Gerrard’s arrival, and they bounced back with a win in their most recent fixture against Norwich City. Another win here could make them credible contenders for a European place this season.

• Liverpool vs Leeds United Prediction: Premier League Match on 26.12.2021

Premier League Preview

Chelsea have really hit a low point in their season, and will be desperate to get their stars back for this Boxing Day showdown. However, we can see the big result of the weekend coming at Villa Park, as Gerrard’s strong start as Villa boss continues with a win.
Chelsea must end the recent run that they have been on, as they have been sloppy at both ends of the field. Despite still having one of the best defensive records in the league, Chelsea have conceded six goals in their last four games in all competitions. Their only win during that run of fixtures was a nervy success against Leeds United where they needed a late penalty to overcome the Whites.
It has been a miserable festive period for Chelsea to this point, as they have seen their hopes of winning the Premier League title this season fade slightly. The Blues have won just once in their previous four games, which has allowed Manchester City to open up a six-point lead at the top of the standings. However, Thomas Tuchel will be telling his players that there is still a long way to go.
