The last time Aston Villa beat Chelsea at home in the Premier League

Aston Villa host Chelsea at Villa Park in the Premier League on May 23 and haven’t beaten the Blues at home for seven years, so Read Aston Villa took a look at when their last victory was.

On March 15 in 2014, Villa enjoyed a 1-0 win over Chelsea in front of more than 40,000 supporters at Villa Park. Fabian Delph bagged the winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Villa have lost six of their last seven head-to-heads with Chelsea and have managed only one home win against them since 2009, so they’ll be major underdogs on Sunday.

It probably doesn’t help that Dean Smith’s men have nothing but pride to play for as they’re 11th in the table, four points adrift of 10th-placed Leeds United and seven points ahead of 12th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers, but he’d surely love to end Villa’s duck against Chelsea.

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in December’s meeting at Stamford Bridge, but how will Sunday’s go?
