Leeds United form and stats
Leeds United have collected 17 points from their Premier League home games so far after 5-2-5. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Elland Road.
A nice win for Leeds last time playing, versus Southampton. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Raphinha, Stuart Dallas and Patrick Bamford scoring for the victors. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers (0-1).
The Leeds fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
Aston Villa form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, Aston Villa, who have the most clean sheets (7) away in Premier League, have produced an overall stat of 6-2-4 so far.

The schedule is very tough for Villa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Sheffield United is waiting in only four days.
Aston Villa find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (10 so far).
