Match facts

Leicester City

Leicester have won four of their last five Premier League meetings with Aston Villa, drawing the other. The Foxes had won just two of their previous 12 against them in the competition (D6 L4).
None of Leicester’s last eight Premier League matches have been drawn, with the Foxes winning four and losing four. They’ve shipped at least twice in six of those eight games (16 goals in total), keeping a clean sheet in the other two.
Jamie Vardy has netted five goals in his last four Premier League games against Aston Villa, scoring braces home and away against the Villans last season.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have won just one of their 11 Premier League away games against Leicester (D4 L6), losing the last three in a row since a 5-0 victory in January 2004.
Villa are looking to win their first four games in a league campaign for the first time since 1930-31, when they scored a record 128 goals within a single top-flight season, but finished second to Arsenal.
Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games (W5 D2), winning the last three in a row. They last had a longer unbeaten run in the competition back in October 2011 (10 games), while they last won more consecutively in December 2009 (4).

Predictions

Villa have not started a league campaign with four successive wins at any level since 1930-31 when finishing second to Arsenal in the top flight.

The Villans have plenty of momentum on their side, even accounting for the two-week break, but Leicester will be desperate to bounce back from their surprise loss to West Ham.

This is a fixture City tend to do well in and we are backing them to come away with all three points this weekend.

Final Score – 2 : 1
