Villa are eighth in the league with two games in hand that have the potential to elevate them into the top four with a number of Premier League fixtures yet to come.

Boss Dean Smith will be delighted that his side have maintained their consistency to fight among the top-half contenders, but faces a tough task this time out.

Leicester are hot property right now, even during a spell without Jamie Vardy. James Maddison and Harvey Barnes have stood up to deliver when needed and their top four chances appear strong.

Manager Brendan Rodgers will expect another big performance from his talented attackers against a firm defence that has shut out several keen forward lines.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Leicester

Two good teams, playing without fear, playing without intense pressure, featuring sparkling English talents. This could be a cracker for neutrals across the land.

Villa boast Jack Grealish and Ollie Watkins in opposition to Barnes, Maddison and Vardy. Those five on the same pitch suggests goals aplenty.

Losing this one wouldn't be cataclysmic for each side, and for that reason, expect both teams to go for the jugular in a bid to advance their ambitions.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 2-2 Leicester (12/1 at bet365)
