Aston Villa v Leeds Team News

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, who replaced sacked Paul Heckingbottom this summer, has worked miracles at his new club so far, guiding the team that finished 13th last season to lead the Championship with little time for major adjustments. They have been particularly fierce recently as they have won each of their past five games and 6 out of last 7, only going down to West Brom early in November.

These victories have allowed The Peacocks to take their points record to 45 after 22 games, but they are only one point away from Norwich City, who will gladly take advantage of every slip-up by their competitors. The Whites midfielders Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez might fancy their chances here, having scored 17 of their team's 36 goals for two and contributed for another eight as assistants.

A great task lies ahead as Aston Villa will be notably eager to keep their unbeaten streak going - having won just twice from the preceding 15 games - which began with a 2-0 victory to Bolton at the beginning of November. During that harsh time, Steve Bruce was sacked to make way for former Brentford manager Dean Smith. Now they are seven games without defeat (W4, D3) and looking to lift up the table from 8th position.

Aston Villa vs Leeds Predictions

The teams have met in the Championship four times to date - for the last two terms - and have registered two 1-1 stalemates with a shutout win to each side. It's frankly hard to define the winning side between them but one thing should be clear: both of them are equally good at scoring and conceding, with The Villans's home games producing an average of 4.1 goals and, in this respect, Leeds' away outings have seen them score and concede 30 goals in total after 11 trips.
