A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Leicester City fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Aston Villa's 19th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Aston Villa only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. It's a growing despair in Aston Villa as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
