Leicester vs Aston Villa match preview
Last time the two teams met, just last month, Leicester dished out a one-sided beating at Villa Park. The Foxes walked away with a 4-1 win.
On league form, Leicester are clear favourites. Currently second with 45 points and one of the best goal-scoring records in the league. The Foxes are also boosted by the return of star striker, Jamie Vardy.
Conversely, Villa are teetering one point above the drop zone, with 21 points to their name. They’ve lost twice as many games as they’ve won too (12 losses to 6 wins, plus 3 draws).
Villa fans will cling to the small slither of hope provided by the form of star man, Jack Grealish. He’s shown himself to be a game-changer, scoring eight goals in all competitions, and is already being linked to top teams for a summer move.
However, both keeper Tom Heaton and record signing, Wesley, have been ruled out through injury for the rest of the season. That’s a massive blow for Villa and boosts Leicester’s chances this evening.
