Before you lock in your Chelsea vs. Aston Villa picks or English Premier League predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. In 2023 he was red-hot, going 248-234-12 for a profit of $2,593 for $100 bettors. That included an 86-59-5 record in Premier League picks for a profit of $3,463.

Eimer knows Aston Villa are looking to strengthen their hold on a top-four spot in the Premier League table as they are six points ahead of Tottenham for fourth place but have played two more games. The Villans have one of the top offensive players in the league in forward Ollie Watkins, who ranks third with 19 goals and leads the EPL with a career-high 12 assists. Meanwhile, Jamaican winger Leon Bailey has netted 10 tallies after having converted in back-to-back contests and has notched nine assists for a share of fourth in the league, with both totals being personal bests.

The expert also has taken into account that Chelsea expect to regain the services of Cole Palmer, who sat out the loss to Arsenal due to illness. The 21-year-old midfielder is even with Manchester City's Erling Haaland for the Premier League lead with 20 goals and has converted in four of his last five league matches, netting half of his tallies in that span. Palmer, who also is tied for fourth in the EPL with nine assists, scored four goals in his last league contest, a 6-0 victory against Everton on Apr. 15.

For Saturday, Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Aston Villa vs. Chelsea matchup and locked in his picks.
