The history of results between the two clubs when they have played against each other in the past have often been full of surprises as the Aston Villa vs Chelsea live streaming FA Cup match online can often be hard to determine who might win. The 4-4 blockbuster draw in the league last season still remains fresh in every fan’s mind. The teams traded blows and goals but in the end, the players trooped off the pitch on level terms. It went beyond all comprehension what with both teams having forged past reputations founded on defensive solidity. It was certainly out of the ordinary to have them concede so many goals and by both teams’ set of first class defenders. It was quickly deemed to be a rare occurrence that would probably only take place once in a lifetime. But there was no denying the match was immensely satisfying for many fans as they enjoyed the best of both worlds - plenty of goals and both teams not having to record a defeat. However, the result did prove damaging for both teams in the end. Aston Villa faded in the race for a Champions League place while Chelsea had to endure another season of title starvation.

Things were back to normal when the Blues went to Villa Park for the first match between the two. The result that the Blues got after the match seemed to signal that their title challenge would fade eventually. Aston Villa finally managed to beat the Blues for the first time in years. Carlo Ancelotti had to endure a tame surrender as the Blues lost by two Villa goals. It was also a sign that Villa would be a real force this season. Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill set a target of the Champions League for his players as the club made a move to be more ambitious. The manager had spent large sums of money on them and he expected them to return the faith.

Chelsea eventually had their revenge on the return at Stamford Bridge. It was the scale of revenge that had Aston Villa flabbergasted. Club stalwart Frank Lampard plundered four goals in helping the Blues to a 7-1 win. Martin O’Neill was left speechless and claimed that it was one of his worst days as a manager. His teams were known for being brave and never one to surrender meekly. What conspired in the match was a team that had everything that bore no sign of their manager’s qualities. Chelsea have not looked back since recording that win. While the Villans have become increasingly distraught with nothing left to play for except the FA Cup.
