Check out how to watch Aston Villa v Chelsea in the Premier League this week, including TV details, team news, predictions and odds.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard takes on an old enemy in the first game of Sunday's Premier League TV schedule as Chelsea make the trip to Villa Park.
The Villa boss faced the Blues more than any other team during his playing days and may need to get a result against them to save his job, as reports have suggested that club chiefs are now considering whether he is the right man to take them forward.
Supporters have been vocal in calling for Gerrard to go in recent weeks despite his side putting together a four-game unbeaten run that's included a 1-1 draw with Man City and a 1-0 victory over Southampton.
The criticisms levelled against the former England captain have mostly been related to the quality of the football being played, which is not a complaint that Blues fans have about their new man in the dugout.
Graham Potter's Chelsea have clicked into gear quickly, with the English coach still unbeaten and now on a run of four wins on the bounce in all competitions – including beating AC Milan 3-0 and 2-0 in the Champions League.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Chelsea
Gerrard believes his Villa side are close to turning draws into wins but he would surely take a point if it was offered to him ahead of Sunday's visit from Chelsea.
He's hinted that changes could be made as he tries to help them rediscover some form in the final third – with Danny Ings and Leon Bailey prime candidates to get the nod.
They will surely have to be more clinical to get a result against Potter's side, who have scored 10 times in their last four games so will not be short of confidence in the final third.
Things could go very sour at Villa Park if Chelsea are able to strike early and the first goal will be massive.
Our prediction: Aston Villa 0-2 Chelsea (8/1 at bet365)
