Leicester City, Recent FormThe Leicester City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Crystal Palace recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 31 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Brendan Rodgers where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 11 in the same period. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against Chelsea. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Chelsea's tally of 27 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Unai Emery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 15 games. With a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they can certainly claim to be hard to beat.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins will be looking to celebrate a goal with the travelling fans again and continue his hot scoring streak having scored in each of Aston Villa's last league game away from home.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Aston Villa, losing 2-4 to Leicester City.
The Villans have managed to keep a clean sheet against Leicester in each of their previous 2 visits to The King Power Stadium.
Jamie Vardy will be feeling confident about scoring for Leicester ahead of this encounter with Aston Villa, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at The King Power Stadium.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ryan Bertrand (Knee), Jonny Evans (Muscle), James Justin (Achilles tendon), Victor Kristiansen (Ankle), Dennis Praet (Leg), Harry Souttar (Ankle) and Youri Tielemans (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Unai Emery has a number of injury concerns in his Aston Villa squad to contend with: Matty Cash (Calf), Philippe Coutinho (Hamstring) and Jed Steer (Achilles tendon)
