Tearing it up in the Premier League early on, Aston Villa are on a brilliant run of form, looking completely unstoppable. Many pundits believe they may have just struck a purple patch, and their decline is around the corner.

But there is real belief that the Villa can continue to grind out these positive results till the end of the season. Head coach Dean Smith has the responsibility of keeping his boys in check to prevent complacency from creeping into the dressing room.

Leicester City’s fairytale run in the 2015/2016 season has been engraved in the history books, and will never be forgotten. A couple of years have passed since that surprise Premier League triumph, and the Foxes have been looking to rewrite that success story again.

Much to the dismay of the club supporters, they narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification last season. Having spent large parts of the term in the top-four mix, the Foxes fell off the pace on the final matchday.

Traumatized by that horrific experience, Leicester City will be determined to set the record straight this time around. Once again, the Foxes have begun this season on a good note, emerging victorious in three of their opening four fixtures.

They were left dumbfounded in their previous game as lowly West Ham United put them to the sword, hammering them 3-0. Far from their utmost best, Leicester never really got going throughout as the opposition ran the show against them.

That heavy defeat must have done some real damages to the Foxes’ confidence levels. However, they can get back on the winning train with a positive result versus high-flying Aston Villa on Sunday. To be honest, no one knows what has been keeping the Villa going this season.

A side that miraculously escaped relegation last term, Aston Villa’s impressive start to the campaign is giving the English media a lot to talk about. They currently have a 100% winning record in the league, picking up all nine points from their first three games.

On the last matchday, Dean Smith’s men grabbed the headlines with an exhilarating 7-2 victory over reigning champions Liverpool. Smith couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched from the sidelines, his players outclassing the Reds. The gaffer will be hoping for more of the same this weekend.

Injured or Suspended Players
