Both achieved important 1-0 wins in midweek, albeit for very different reasons. Aston Villa very much remain in the mire, though, while Leicester, despite the goals drying up somewhat in recent weeks, have been tough to break down, keeping a clean sheet in their past three league outings. Villa led by two goals in the reverse fixture only to fall apart in the second half and concede three. Alan Smith
