Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa continue fightback?
With just two wins during a disappointing seven-match sequence, Aston Villa slid down the Premier League table having collected wins against Newcastle United and Southampton but also losing four of these seven with defeats incurred against Manchester United, Manchester City, Burnley and West Ham.
However, Dean Smith’s side have bounced back with a 1-0 home win over Arsenal and a point in a 0-0 draw down on the south coast against Brighton, so confidence will be higher at Villa Park on Sunday as they prepare for the visit of high-flying Leicester City.
Villa have won three of their last four at Villa Park with wins over Crystal Palace, Newcastle United and Arsenal but in Leicester City they’ll be facing a team that can be devastating on the counter-attack and the hosts may struggle here.
Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes consolidate?
3rd placed Leicester City have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 11 matches overall in the Premier League and this solid run of results have enabled The Foxes to maintain their position in the top four as the visitors look to ensure Champions League football this time around.
Last season saw Leicester’s bid for a top four finish fizzle out in disappointing fashion but this season, Brendan Rodgers’s side have produced more consistent results and this is very evident in recent times as Leicester have won six of these last 11 matches and also picked up four draws.
Leicester City are perhaps more dangerous away from home and eight of their 14 wins have been achieved on the road with a solid record of 8-3-1 23/10 under their belts to date, along with keeping five clean sheets on their travels too.
