There are plenty of fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League on Saturday the 23rd of April including the meeting between Leicester City and Aston Villa.
The game will take place at the King Power Stadium and the hosts begin the match on 41 points while the visitors are down in 15th place on 36 points.
Leicester City come into the game having been held to a 1-1 draw at Everton on Wednesday night. Having opened the scoring early in the match it appeared as though Leicester City had done enough to take maximum points but Everton had other ideas and equalised in added time.
Having held the lead for so long, it was a disappointing result for Leicester City and means they have failed to win their 2 most recent games following the 2-1 defeat at Newcastle United.
However, Leicester City have been difficult to beat of late and they are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 fixtures in all competitions.
The Foxes are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 Premier League games, with wins coming at home against Brentford and Crystal Palace plus draws at Manchester United and Everton.
Trends show Leicester City are unbeaten in all their last 8 home matches in all competitions, including each of their last 5 in the Premier League.
Both teams have scored in 5 of Leicester City’s 6 most recent home league matches.
Aston Villa make the trip to the King Power Stadium having suffered a 4-0 loss at home in their previous match in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur.
The game was over by the 66th minute when Spurs scored their third goal and they added a fourth with 19 minutes of the match remaining.
That result means Aston Villa have lost each of their last 4 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League. In addition to the defeat at home against Spurs, Aston Villa have lost at home to Arsenal and away to West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
You must go back to the 10th of March to find the last time Aston Villa won a game and that was away against Leeds United.
Aston Villa have lost each of their last 2 away games and they have seen over 2.5 goals in their 3 most recent away league matches. Aston Villa have scored in 7 of their last 8 away Premier League games.
Team news and Leicester City are without the injured trio of Boubakary Soumaré, Wilfred Ndidi, and Jamie Vardy.
Aston Villa must make do without Lucas Digne and Kortney Hause due to injury.
The Foxes may have one eye on the game with Roma on Thursday but Brendan Rodgers will want to maintain momentum with a win. Aston Villa have been struggling recently and although they may score, we expect Leicester City to win this game, with over 2.5 goals in the match.
