Leicester City v Aston Villa: match preview

Leicester will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to what would be a season’s best four games in all competitions against a goal-shy Aston Villa who are winless in five, scoring only once in that period, and a total of just 11 times in the Premier League this season. Nigel Pearson will certainly be targeting a second home win of the campaign to lift his side off the foot of the table. Luke Weston
