Chelsea bid to extend lead
Chelsea bid to extend lead
Chelsea are out to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership to five points when Jose Mourinho's men entertain Aston Villa.Martin O'Neill's men head to Stamford Bridge unbeaten in their opening six games, but are sure to face their stiffest test to date with the likes of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard on fire for the reigning champions.David Moyes, meanwhile, is hoping unbeaten Everton get back to winning ways after back-to-back draws against Wigan Athletic and Newcastle United when Manchester City visit Goodison Park. Stuart Pearce's men recorded only their fourth league win since March at West Ham's expense last weekend.Iain Dowie is determined to remain positive ahead of Arsenal's visit to Charlton Athletic, who have won just once in the Premiership since he succeeded Alan Curbishley in The Valley hotseat in the summer.Liverpool will be out to record a fourth successive league win at Bolton Wanderers, who are upbeat after bringing Portsmouth's unbeaten run to an end on Monday night.And Gareth Southgate will be hoping that his Middlesbrough can get back to winning ways at Sheffield United - the Teessiders have not won a game since beating Chelsea in August.
