Chelsea vs Aston Villa: 6 Ways Paul Lambert Can Mastermind Victory

1. Dispel The Memory Of 8 €“ 0 From Last Season

stamfordbridge There is slight parallel for Aston Villa regarding this fixture from last season as Aston Villa had arrived on the back of an unlikely 3- 1 away victory against a supposedly superior rival €“ Liverpool. Benteke scored twice and Villa put in arguably their strongest showing of the season. Then they rolled up to Stamford Bridge, undoubtedly fancying their chances and were thumped 8 -0. The memory of that defeat might still be fresh in the minds of some of the more inexperienced players. It sound s easy to say €˜forget about it€™ or €˜we€™ve move on from it€™, but some players find is hard to forget. It looks like a similar team will take to field and simply put, they must remember that this is a fresh start and last year has been and gone. Paul Lambert€™s men must continue to look ahead even if it gets tough or they run the risk of another very poor result. Do you think Villa can do it? Share your thoughts below in the comments.
