Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction for the next Premier League match between Chelsea and Aston Villa.
The Blues are currently 4th on the league table, after two wins and one draw in the domestic competition. Meanwhile, Villa are 11th after the first three matches, having one win, one loss, and one draw.
Speaking about the upcoming match, Lawrenson has backed Thomas Tuchel's side to continue their unbeaten run and celebrate a
2 - 0 over the rivals on Saturday.
"I was impressed by Chelsea in their draw with Liverpool before the international break - they were the better side with 11 men and they still did well when they were down to 10," BBC pundit said.
"Aston Villa won't lack energy or effort but the Blues should be too strong for them.
"The only issue Chelsea may have is if their £97.5m striker Romelu Lukaku doesn't recover from a thigh problem he picked up playing for Belgium last week, although it does not sound too serious."
