Chelsea vs Aston Villa: 7 Tips For Villa To Defeat Mourinho

1. Exploit The Changes

With Manchester United waiting on Monday evening, it would be no suprise to see Jose Mourinho make some changes to rest the likes of Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole or Eden Hazard. While Juan Mata would improve any team, others such as Andre Schurrle and Marco van Ginkel are not yet fully adjusted to their new surroundings, team mates, or league, and that is something Villa can exploit. If Chelsea can beat Villa and United they will be six points clear of the Red Devils. Although David Moyes' men will have a game in hand, the psychological impact could be devastating. However, if the Blues get caught thinking ahead and assuming this is the easy fixture, an on form Aston Villa could be ready to take advantage. Have we missed anything? Are there any other ways Villa can get the upper hand? Let us know in the comments section, and feel free to add me on twitter
