The Premier League is back in action with another exciting fixture this weekend as Aston Villa take on Leicester City at the Villa Park on Sunday. Both teams have been impressive this season and will look to make a statement over the weekend.
Aston Villa currently find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League table and have been plagued by inconsistency after an excellent start to the season. The home side was held to a 0-0 stalemate by Brighton last weekend and cannot afford to slip up in this match.
Leicester City, on the other hand, have managed to cling to their top-four spot throughout this season and have been thoroughly impressive in the Premier League. The Foxes stunned Liverpool by a 3-1 margin in their previous league game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
