Aston Villa defender James Collins is up for the challenge of facing Chelsea today.
Collins scored the winning goal when Villa triumphed 2-1 over the Blues in the same fixture a year ago.
Collins knows Villa face a tough task after losing heavily to Chelsea in subsequent encounters, going down 7-1 at Stamford Bridge in March and suffering a 3-0 loss in the FA Cup semi-finals.
But the Wales international feels the omens are good for another impressive display against the league champions.
He said: "It's a similar situation to last time as we played them just after international duty last season.
"You know it's going to be a tough game against them but on the day we were superb.
"It was a good performance and topped off with a winning goal for myself. I had all my family there and to get a win was unbelievable.
"I remember the last couple of minutes hanging on when we were under attack.
"Hopefully we can do the same again. You've got to look back on the way you played any time you beat Chelsea."
