Mason Mount’s double did the damage as the pressure continues to build on Steven Gerrard at Villa.

Tyrone Mings made a terrible defensive mistake for Chelsea’s opener and Villa missed several big chances in the first half as Kepa Arrizabalaga had a fine game in goal.

After three-straight wins in the Premier League, Chelsea now have 19 points. Villa remain on nine points and have won just twice this season.

Kepa stands tall to repay Potter’s faith: When Edouard Mendy suffered an injury, Chelsea fans will have feared the worst. However, Kepa has been brilliant in recent games and magnificent saves in the first half to keep his team ahead. Much-maligned over the last few years, Kepa is now ahead of Mendy and his ability on the ball seems to suit Graham Potter’s style much better. Most importantly, he seems to have improved his shot-stopping ability and presence.

Villa their own worst enemies: Steven Gerrard will feel like Villa are beating themselves right now. Tyrone Mings’ horrendous mistake gifted Mount the chance to put Chelsea ahead and better finishing would have seen them deservedly level at half time. When your luck is out and confidence is low, these are the kind of things which will happen.

Mount is back to his best: Two goals and three assists in his last three games for Chelsea prove that Mount is getting back to his best and the English playmaker suits Potter’s style of play very well. He pops up in dangerous areas, knits things together well and is made for this fluid style of play Chelsea
