Leicester City Preview – Can Leicester rekindle earlier form?
Leicester City huffed and puffed their way to a narrow 1-0 win over Championship side, Birmingham City, in the FA Cup during the week but it was an unconvincing display from Brendan Rodgers’ side as they now turn their attentions back to the Premier League on Monday night.
League form has also seemingly deserted The Foxes as the hosts are without a win from their last 4 matches overall, as back-to-back draws with Chelsea and Wolves have been followed by back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Norwich City respectively.
A purple-patch of form from mid-October through to early December saw Leicester City win 8 league matches on the trot and has thus far helped maintain their 3rd place position, but Chelsea now trail by just 5 points so Leicester will be keen to grab all three points here.
Form has been ordinary though in recent times but goals have continued to flow as 9 of Leicester City’s 14 home matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Villa move out of bottom three?
Despite Leicester City’s recent downturn in form in the Premier League, this still looks a tough assignment for Dean Smith and his boys as they prepare for the trip ac]ross the midlands to the King Power Stadium with Aston Villa looking to avoid a fourth league defeat on the trot.
Although Villa gained a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Brighton and registered a much-needed 2-1 home win against fellow strugglers, Watford, the west midlands club have since slumped to three defeats on the trot, losing to Bournemouth, Tottenham and Southampton, while results away from home have been pretty ordinary all season.
An away record of 2-2-10 16/28 includes winning just 1 of their last 10 matches on their travels, so an away win at Leicester on Monday night looks highly unlikely. However, they too have produced a few goals this season and 10 of Villa’s 14 away matches have resulted in over 2.5 goals.
