A narrow 2-1 loss to Chelsea last weekend only added further pressure to a Villa side that has been wanting. The Villans have really struggled for form lately and understandably so. Their recent matches have been against big names: Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Man City, games which they have gone ahead to lose.

Now, against a red-hot Leicester side, it does not look so promising. At 16^th, after 15 games (W4 D3 L8), coach Dean Smith will really count on Brazilian Wesley to be at his best in this clash against the finest defence in Europe. A very long shot.

Aston Villa deserve some credit for their home performances where they have been decent - 3 losses in their last 16 games at Villa Park. It will be quite interesting to watch the match-up.

Leicester are on a run of terrific form this season. Second only to a Stellar season, the Foxes are having a dream season and seemingly, Brendan Rogers has moulded the team to excellence.

Disciplined at the back with their defence being the meanest in the league, a dependable midfield manned by the proficient Perez and a menacing attack led by a vicious Vardy who is the league’s top scorer, Leicester are a side that can challenge even the best. They will get to with Champions League nights set to return to King Power next season should they continue with the same momentum.

The club faithful are expectant and reminiscent of the glorious days when they etched their name into history by claiming domestic glory. They might not achieve such lofty heights this season but fans and player alike are very pleased with their performance.

A hard fought 2-0 win over Watford in midweek action just shows the drive and desire in the Foxes. Here, they will be looking to get one over the Villans and provide something of a chase to runaway leaders Liverpool. They just might.

Leicester midfielder M. James will sit this out with an Achilles tendon injury.

Aston Villa vs Leicester Predictions

Leicester have been breath taking, winning their last 4 on the road including a 9-0 rout of sorry Southampton, and might just pull the carpet off Villa’s feet. They are a side known to come out with points even against top teams. Facing off against a wounded Aston Villa who are difficult at home, it will not be easy but the Foxes will likely outwit their opponents. Leicester’s marksman Vardy will likely be involved in the fray.
