Ray Wilkins is feeling confident ahead of Aston Villa's trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and hopes his side can take advantage of Chelsea's early-season form slump.

Wilkins knows Chelsea well after having spent time at the club as a player as well as an assistant manager to Carlo Ancelotti, and hopes Tim Sherwood's struggling Villa side can achieve a positive result.

Wilkins told talkSPORT: "It's very unusual to see Chelsea in this condition and we're going to go there with a positive mindset and try to get the best result we can."

"We're under no illusions, it's going to be extremely tough for us but Chelsea are going through a bit of a difficult time at the moment, so it's a good time for us to meet them."
