VILLA CAN'T GET HOLD OF THE BALL
All Chelsea really in keeping the ball and keeping Villa on the back foot. Villa content enough to let the visitors play in front of them as they remain patient before Martinez comes out to collect the ball in front of Jackson. Cash using his experience to protect the ball.

Chelsea head to Villa Park having shipped a whopping 57 goals this season and are coming off a 5-0 drubbing by Arsenal at the Emirates.
"Its the same thing I said at the start of the season when you've got lots of young players in there. The ability to do it in spells is there," said the former Chelsea playmaker Cole on TNT Sports.
