Leicester City will come up against Aston Villa on matchday 7 of 38 of the English Premier League 2022/23 season.
Tournament – Premier League;
Date – 04/04/2023;
Kick-Off – 20:45 CET;
Venue – King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Three of Leicester City’s last five matches ended with over 2.5 goals and because Leicester have defensive issues, this game could exceed two goals.
Under a new manager, Leicester will go all out on Aston Villa, which would see them create a couple of decent chances and at the same time, exposing their backline for Villa to punish, hence both teams could score.
They succumbed to a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday despite breaking the deadlock early in the second half. The defeat also led to Brendan Rodgers’ sacking after a poor run of form [1D4L]. Leicester are in the 19th position with 25 points after 28 games.
The Villas
They pulled off a huge 2-0 win over Chelsea away from home on Saturday to ensure they remain unbeaten in their last five league matches [4W1D]. Aston Villa are in 9th position with 41 points after 28 games.
The Foxes: Iversen, Kristiansen, Faes, Souttar, Castagne, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Maddison, Tete, Daka
The Villas: Martinez, Moreno, Mings, Konsa, Young, Ramsey, Luis, McGinn, Kamara, Watkins, Buendia
