Aston Villa host Leicester at the Villa Park (Birmingham) in the 25th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 2.05 pm (UK) on Sunday, February 21. Read our reasons for Aston Villa vs Leicester prediction and betting tips.
Aston Villa come into this game on the back of a goalless draw at Brighton after six matches that had seen results switching between defeats and wins (W3, L3). The Villans have three wins in nine in all competitions (D2, L4), but with two games in hand, while being in 8th place, they are still on course to get into the mix for one of the European berths. As for Leicester, the Foxes are third in the Premier League after a brilliant 3-1 win against Liverpool last time out and have booked a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals, to boot, with a 1-0 win against Brighton in Round 5. Rodgers’ side have also been busy in Europe, sharing the spoils wit Slavia Prague in the last 32 of the Europa League (0-0) on Thursday night. On this evidence, the Foxes are doing really well this season.
Aston Villa have been the surprise performers for the season, with some mesmerizing performances, especially against the traditional top 6 of English football - including a double over Arsenal. The Birmingham club head into the game with a disappointing draw against Brighton and would be looking to rack up points to reach the Europa League or even the Champions League if they dare to dream.
Aston Villa also face an injury problem with standout performer Matty Cash joining Kourtney Hause and Wesly Moraes on the sidelines for the game against Leicester. Jack Grealish, who has been their star player for the campaign with several match-winning performances, is expected to lead the line for the Villains. Villa’s draw against Brighton show their lack of ability to finish off games, so expectations of a Brendan Rodgers masterclass could be on the cards.
On the other hand, the Foxes have clearly shown their champions credentials and it is their form on the road which has propelled them into title contention this campaign. After thumping the reigning champions Liverpool last weekend, the Foxes face this season’s dark horses Aston Villa who are in the top half of the Premier League table after barely avoiding relegation last season. The Foxes are level on points with 2nd-placed Man United, but 10 points off the leader Man City, making it difficult to reenact their 2015/16 league heroics.
The spot for the Champions League heats up with Chelsea close behind the Foxes, but valuable points against Liverpool have kept the side in contention. However, Leicester will have to deal with a massive blow as Ricardo Periera is expected to sit out after suffering an injury against the Reds. Wes Morgan is out with a back injury, while Ayoze Perez is also a big doubt for the game. Justin and Praet have been effectively ruled out for the season, with Castagne expected to be back for the Villa Clash.
