Leicester City Continue Champions League Crusade at Villa Park
2920

There are several English Premier League games to look forward to on Sunday the 21st of February, including the meeting between Aston Villa and Leicester City at Villa Park. The hosts begin the weekend in 8th place on 36 points while the visitors are in 3rd place on 46 points, only below Manchester United on goal difference.

Aston Villa come into the match having been held to a 0-0 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend. The hosts had the better of the game and Aston Villa were forced to rely on the brilliance of their goalkeeper to take a point. That result means Aston Villa have won only 3 of their last 10 games in all competitions.

Their most recent victory came at home in the Premier League against Arsenal on the 6th of February and it was a 1-0 win. Home form in the Premier League shows Aston Villa have been difficult to beat on their own turf recently and they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 at Villa Park.

Trends show Aston Villa have been good defensively when playing at home and they have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5 home league matches. They have also scored at least one goal in 6 of their last 7 home Premier League games.

Leicester City come into this match on the back of a 0-0 draw at Slavia Prague in the Europa League on Thursday night. The Foxes were close to full strength for the game but could not find the away goal they were hoping to score ahead of the second leg at the King Power Stadium.

That result means Leicester City are undefeated in their last 5 games in all competitions and they have tasted just a single defeat in their 15 most recent games. Form in the Premier League shows Leicester City have lost only one of their last 11 matches, with recent victories coming at home against Liverpool and away to Fulham.

Trends show Leicester City are on a 7 match unbeaten run away from home in the Premier League. In fact, they have not been beaten in their last 10 straight away clashes in all competitions. Leicester City have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 away matches in all competitions and have seen under 2.5 goals scored in their last 4 on the road.

Looking ahead to the team news and Aston Villa are without the injured trio of Matty Cash, Kortney Hause, and Wesley Moraes.

Leicester City have a long list of absentees, with Ayoze Perez, James Justin, Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne, Wes Morgan, and Dennis Praet injured.

Leicester City have coped well with their injury problems this season and should continue to do so in this game. Aston Villa were fortunate to come away with a point against Brighton last week and Leicester City will feel confident of winning this game and keeping a clean sheet in the process.
