I have been impressed by ........


..... Aston Villa this season, Martin O'Neill has proved what a top class coach he is. The only big money spent has been on Stilian Petrov and that looks a solid gold purchase.

Villa are unbeaten so far, winning all their home ties and drawing at Arsenal, West Ham and Watford. Another trip to the capital today. to play the champions and you do not need to be a genius to work out O'Neills tactics.

They will be disciplined, defend in numbers and try to hit Chelsea on the break. The Blues seem to play a much narrower game this season and that will play into the visitors hands, Shevchenko is not firing yet and they are relying on Drogba's goals, he is sure to be well shackled by Olof Mellberg.

I like Villa's chances today and if they can survive the first 20 minutes or so, even a shock away win is not impossible. Going to play 5 points on the game, spread over 3 bets.

0.25 points Aston Villa to beat Chelsea 13.5 betfair
lay 5 points Chelsea 1.33 betfair ( exposure 1.65 points)
3 points Aston Villa + 1.5 goals 1.82 asian line.

Back shortly.

Good Luck.
