Both coming into this clash off the back of European adventures earlier in the week, Chelsea and Aston Villa will lock horns at Stamford Bridge for a Premier League match on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues were made to work hard for maximum points in the Conference League against Heidenheim on Thursday night, two days after the Villans shared the Champions League spoils with Italian giants Juventus in the Second City.
We say: Chelsea 2-1 Aston Villa
Utilising the impressive depth of their squad in the Conference League on Thursday night, Chelsea's leading stars should be fresh and ready to put an out-of-form Aston Villa to the sword at Stamford Bridge.
The Villans are in danger of falling down the Premier League standings should their winless streak carry on for too much longer, and we reckon that the visitors will narrowly lose out in West London.

One for one in Manchester United home games so far, Ruben Amorim seeks a second straight triumph at the Theatre of Dreams in Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton.
The Red Devils came up trumps in a 3-2 Europa League thriller with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, while Sean Dyche's side could not break down a 10-man Brentford unit last weekend.
We say: Manchester United 1-0 Everton
As ineffective as Everton's attacking displays were in November, Dyche's resolute defensive unit are proving a tough nut to crack and will no doubt boast the fresher legs on the Old Trafford turf.
Two sides who are prone to low-scoring Premier League affairs may not serve up a terrific watch for the neutrals, but if there is going to be a decisive goal, it will surely go the hosts' way.

Bidding to arrest a two-game run without a home victory, Tottenham Hotspur host London rivals Fulham in Sunday's Premier League derby.
Ange Postecoglou's team succumbed to a late leveller in a 2-2 Europa League draw with Roma on Thursday, while their visitors were slain 4-1 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out in the top flight.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Fulham
Spurs arguably could have had few qualms had Roma returned to Italy with all three points on Thursday, as Postecoglou's depleted backline conceded numerous opportunities to Ranieri's side and should be breached at least once by a goal-happy Fulham.
Attack should therefore be the best form of defence for the Lilywhites on Sunday, and while it may not be pretty, we still back the hosts to capitalise on their visitors' recent rearguard vulnerabilities to emerge triumphant and end Fulham's unbeaten derby run.

The stumbling champions meet the scintillating challengers in Sunday's Premier League headline act, as Liverpool and Manchester City engage in a battle of the behemoths at Anfield.
Victory for Arne Slot's side would see them increase their already unassailable lead over the Citizens in the top-flight table to 11 points, potentially extinguishing the visitors' hopes of a fabulous five-peat with just a third of the season gone.
We say: Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City
No matter how dire City's situation appears to be, Guardiola's side can almost always be backed to come good in the attacking third away from their Etihad headquarters, and their hot streak on the road should not cease here thanks to Konate's worrying blow.
However, Guardiola's defence is only one game away from its latest catastrophe, and with the lack of an omnipotent Rodri-like enforcer in the midfield, the champions should be conquered by the challengers in the most devastating blow to their title defence yet.
