We all know that Unai Emery's tactical idea is to first patiently transmit in the backfield, withstand the opponent's offensive pressure, and then make more use of through balls, focus on counterattacking attacks with offensive and defensive transitions, and use the speed advantage of his own forward line to impact the opponent.
Against Villa, either give up the ball completely and concentrate on squatting in the pit and swinging the bus, but this is just a strategy, the best way is to take crazy high pressing, so that Villa can't get the ball.
Villa's three worst defeats this season have been against Newcastle and Liverpool, both of whom have a strong pressing ability that has prevented Villa from transitioning forward smoothly and making frequent mistakes.
And Chelsea's pressing is also particularly fierce, with a PPDA value of only 10 this season3, behind Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal, can be ranked fourth in the Premier League.
In fact, in the last leg, Chelsea's pressing had an effect, and even caused Villa to give gifts, but this time Palmer's shot was weak and was defused by Martinez.
Chelsea mainly suffered from the lack of a serious center forward, and could only let Palmer play the false number nine, and the team created a lot of chances, but the kick on goal was too bad.
But now, Chelsea's center Nkunku has gotten rid of injury troubles, and Jackson, who participated in the Africa Cup of Nations, is also back, Nkunku, as last season's Bundesliga Golden Boot, is certainly not weak, although Jackson is always complained about wasting opportunities by everyone, but at least his dribbling and fulcrum role is still obvious, better than nothing, right?
In terms of data, it only gives Villa a one-story advantage, considering the recent form and Premier League rankings of both sides, the support for Villa is not obvious, and the iron is still supporting Chelsea, at least it can be tied and won!
