THE PREDICTION
Leicester are enjoying another incredible season that sees them currently sat third in the Premier League. Brendan Rodgers’ men are unbeaten in their last eight away league matches, winning five of them ahead of their visit to Aston Villa. The hosts bounced back from defeat at home to West Ham well, picking up four points in their last two games vs Arsenal and Brighton respectively and with Leicester in Europa League action this past Thursday night, the hosts will see an opportunity to capitalise on any potential physical fatigue shown by the visitors. Both teams have proven themselves at the back over the course of the campaign, including the past few weeks with Aston Villa coming into this game off the back of two consecutive clean sheets and Leicester having recorded three shutouts in their last four matches in all competitions. With a close contest expected here, under 2.5 goals scored may prove the smart play.
