Chelsea
Easy: 3 points for Villa
Villa travel to West London on Saturday, looking to build on their amazing 8-3 victory over Wycombe by becoming the first team this season to score past champions-elect Chelski.

Undefeated and unscored past in six games, Villa will need the firepower of doubtful strikers Milan Baros and Juan Pablo Angel.

Freddie Bouma should be fit to start, but both Angel and Baros are 50/50 and will be given as much time as possible to prove their fitness.

Luke Moore is on standby, but it is likely he will be on the bench and 4-5-1 used if necessary, especially as fifth choice striker Agbonlahor has just joined Watford on loan.

Berger was poor and it is possible that O'Leary will move Barry to the left midfield and put Lee Hendrie in centre, as he looked very lively and up for it when he came on against Wycombe and he could be the ideal person to badger Chelski.

As O'Leary appears inept at making substitutes at the right time, I'd prefer Hendrie to start, but it depends on whether Berger will be given another chance.

Mellberg is likely to return to Centre-back with Bouma playing at left-back. It is unlikely that Cahill will keep his place and Ridgewell will probably continue to partner Mellberg.

I don't particularly fancy our chances against a team as strong team as Chelsea's, but after putting seven past Wycombe in 42 minutes they may have their scoring boots on.

I fancy James Milner to score if we do get a goal and it would be nice to be the first team to score past them this season. It would also show some people that Villa mean business.
