Having made a timely return to winning ways against Southampton on Tuesday, Leeds will be happy to soak in the new atmosphere after enduring a rough patch consisting of two consecutive losses. And they will be hoping to clinch another important victory this weekend.

Troubled by inconsistency, Aston Villa are struggling to string together a good run of results in the Premier League. After a humbling defeat against the Foxes last weekend, they will be aiming to get a favourable outcome away from home on Saturday.

Leeds vs Aston Villa Team News

In their last league outing, Leeds United sent Southampton sinking at Elland Road, with the contest ending with a 3-0 scoreline. After the first half ended with an even scoreline, Leeds started the second spell on the front foot, and they were soon rewarded with an opener thanks to a Patrick Bamford's finish. The Whites doubled their lead, and soon added a third through a sumptuous Raphinha free-kick goal, which sealed the win.

Having collected a total of 35 points from 25 league games this term, Leeds presently sit in 10th place on the league table. They've won 11 matches so far this season, but they have also been on the losing end a disappointing twelve times.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have shown more than glimpses of their attacking strength - as it was on display again against the Saints on Tuesday. However, they have shown as much vulnerability at the back on numerous occasions during this campaign.

Aston Villa fell to a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City in their last fixture. In this clash, the Villans went in at break with a two-goal lead to overturn in the second half. They seemed up to the task when Bertrand Traore scored from close range, almost immediately after restart. However, the Foxes showed resilience as they held on to their lead, claiming all three points.

Aston Villa currently occupy 8th-place on the league table, having accrued 36 points from 23 league games - holding a two-game advantage over Liverpool who sit in 6th-place with 40 points. Following an impressive start to the campaign, the Lions have been largely inconsistent in the second half of the season.

Dean Smith's side have won only one of their last four league games, consequently, putting a dent on their challenge for continental qualification. Nevertheless, they will fancy a win in this contest as they look to continue their push for European action next season.

Leeds United cruised to a 3-0 victory when both sides met earlier in the season at the Villa Park. Patrick Bamford scored all three goals in the fixture, and he will be buzzing to be among the goals again in this fixture.

Injured or Suspended Players

Leeds: Adam Forshaw, Robin Koch, Rodrigo, Ian Poveda and Kalvin Phillips.

Aston Villa: Wesley and Kourtney Hause.

Leeds vs Aston Villa Predictions

So much has been made of Leeds' rampant attacking display, but their kryptonite is certainly their defense. In fact, the Peacocks have conceded the same number of goals that they have scored in the top flight this term – 43!

Since December 2000, Villa have not won against Leeds United at Elland Road in the league. And their recent away record is nothing to write home about – losing three of their last five league matches on the road. Hence, we are backing Leeds to come out on top in what will be a tight contest.
