Off and running: Carew celebrates his goal against CSKA Moscow[LNB] Aston Villa[LNB]striker John Carew believes his side have nothing to fear when they take on Chelsea [LNB]at home this Saturday. [LNB]New Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink was at Villa Park last night, along with owner Roman Abramovich, to see Carew score the equaliser in Aston Villa's 1-1 draw with CSKA Moscow in the UEFA Cup.[LNB]Aston Villa are two points above Chelsea in third place in the Premier League and know that a win will make them strong favourites to secure a place in the Champions League next season. [LNB]Carew doesn't see the arrival of Hiddink at Stamford Bridge as anything to worry about and said: 'We are above them in the league and that means we have been better than them this season. [LNB]'We deserve to be there and we have nothing to fear against Chelsea at all. They have a team full of stars but we have shown that we have a number of good players ourselves.'[LNB] The score flattered the Russian side, with Villa having most of the chances and Ashley Young looking particularly threatening. [LNB]Brazilian striker Vagner Love put the visitors ahead in the 14th minute before Young helped engineer the equaliser 21 minutes from time. [LNB]The England international's fine cross found Craig Gardner who turned the ball back to Carew to apply the finish. [LNB]Villa have now played two games since Chelsea beat Watford on Saturday but defender Curtis Davies insists they won't be using fatigue as an excuse. [LNB]He added: 'We won't get much time to recover for Chelsea but if you want to be successful then this is what happens. It's a shame Chelsea couldn't have had their Champions League game this week rather than next but we will be fired up for the match.'
