EPL: Chelsea are favourites but this is Villa Park – Gerrard speaks ahead of faceoff

Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has said that Chelsea led by Graham Potter are favourites to emerge the winner from their faceoff in the EPL on Sunday.

Gerrard’s side will host the Blues at Villa Park as he added that they will be aggressive as they can be.

Aston Villa manager in a pre-match statement said: “I wouldn’t argue or debate whether they have the favourites tag. They’re a team full of world-class talent. They’ve got academy kids who’ve developed and become top players.

“They’ve recruited extremely well. They’ve changed manager of late and seem to be in a honeymoon period.

“Everything points to them being favourites in the game, but this is at Villa Park. We’re a bit frustrated that we haven’t taken wins from our previous two and we want to use that frustration in the right way.

“We want to take the game to Chelsea and be as aggressive as we can.”
