Signing off 2023 with an action-packed 3-2 victory against relegation scrappers Burnley, Villa have lost just one of their previous 15 straight appearances across all competitions - a run that stems all the way back to November 5th. Although Tuesday's hosts might have been last seen in Premier League action playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at Everton, Emery will be excited by his side's recent defensive improvements.
While attacking talisman Ollie Watkins might have failed to find the net in any of his previous six domestic appearances across all competitions, the 28-year-old will spearhead Villa's charge here. Settling for a spot on the bench at Stamford Bridge over the weekend, Jamaica international Leon Bailey should make a full return here.
