Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Aston Villa play host to Leicester City at their Villa Park on day 20 of the new Premier League campaign. The Villans head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Brighton and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Leicester. Pau Torres should recover in time to face the Foxes, while Colombia striker Jhon Duran is banned for the match. In Duran’s absence, Ollie Watkins will continue leading the line for the hosts.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the English top flight. The Foxes, though, have been struggling at the back of late and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Aston Villa’s party at Villa Park. Jordan Ayew is back from suspension, but all Ricardo Pereira, Mads Hermansen, Wilfred Ndidi, and Abdul Fatawu remain on the sidelines with injuries. Wout Faes will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
