Aston Villa and Chelsea will both be aiming to return to winning ways when they meet in the Premier League on Wednesday 4 March 2026. The hosts are looking to recover from a shock 2-0 defeat at bottom-placed Wolves on Friday, a result that allowed Manchester United to leapfrog them into third place.
Villa have managed just one win in their last six league games, raising concerns that an otherwise impressive season could fizzle out unless they respond quickly. Chelsea, meanwhile, have also seen their form dip in recent weeks, having thrown away leads against Leeds and Burnley before Sunday's 2-1 loss to league leaders Arsenal.
The defeat at the Emirates has left Chelsea six points adrift of the top four and three behind fifth-placed Liverpool, denting their hopes of securing a Champions League qualification spot. Both sides will therefore view this fixture as an opportunity to steady their campaigns.
For viewers in the UK, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports, with streaming available via discovery+ Premium. Fans can also listen to live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra 2. TNT Sports can be added to existing BT Broadband contracts from £18 per month, or accessed through the discovery+ app on a variety of devices.
Those without a contract can opt for a discovery+ Premium monthly pass, which provides access to the match and other TNT Sports content, including live Premier League and Champions League action.
