Aston Villa and Leicester City presents an intriguing clash, particularly given the contrasting fortunes of both teams. Aston Villa currently sits in ninth place, boasting a commendable home record that includes nine unbeaten matches . Their recent form has been a mix of results; they managed a draw against Brighton after previously securing three consecutive home victories. In contrast, Leicester City finds itself languishing at the bottom of the league table in 19th place, having endured a disheartening four-game losing streak . This disparity in performance sets the stage for a potentially competitive encounter.
Morgan Rogers seemingly had the Claret and Blue Army set to collect three points, only for the Seagulls to strike back nine minutes from time. Prior to this setback, Villa had won three successive home league games, but are down in ninth, albeit a mere three points adrift Newcastle in fifth, so can they collect three important points in this all-Midlands affair?
Leicester City meantime kick off in the relegation zone, dropping down to 19th earlier this week, desperately needing to stop the rot. Ruud van Nistelrooy's side will make the 37-mile journey west following four successive defeats, shipping 12 goals across these matches, most-recently beaten 2-0 by Manchester City at the King Power on Sunday, squandering numerous gilt-edged chances.
