Looking to make another Premier League statement on Tuesday night, Aston Villa will make the trip to a managerless Leicester.

Leicester

Starting with the hosts, suffering a real collapse away at Crystal Palace over the weekend, Leicester will be getting a new era underway on Tuesday night. Eventually getting hit with a last-gasp 2-1 loss at Selhurst Park, that result was enough to cost Brendan Rodgers his job at the King Power. Parting ways with the one-time Liverpool boss and now seeking a permanent replacement, the Foxes find themselves firmly at the heart of a Premier League nightmare. Dropping into the bottom-three and now tipped as a leading relegation contender in 2023, Leicester have only continued to show a string of issues on either side of the international break. In fact, the midweek hosts have failed to win any of their last seven straight appearances across all formats – a run that stems all the way back to February 11th. Likewise, crashing out of the FA Cup following a stunning 2-1 defeat at home against Championship outfit Blackburn, the Foxes should face another stern test here.

Team News

Once again missing out away at Selhurst Park over the weekend, Leicester are once again sweating over the fitness of Dennis Praet and Jonny Evans here. Likewise, the Foxes will be without the trio of Youri Tielemans, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand in midweek.

Having to settle for a spot in Saturday’s 2-1 loss against Crystal Palace, the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho will be hoping for a full recall at the King Power.

Aston Villa

As for the visitors, making yet another Premier League statement over the weekend, Aston Villa find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Storming their way to a stellar 2-0 victory away at Chelsea, Unai Emery’s side have only continued to gain a string of plaudits since appointing the one-time Arsenal boss. Skyrocketing their way into the top-half of the table, there is no doubt that the Midlands-based outfit should be smelling the chance to make another statement on Tuesday night. Heading into the international break with a 3-0 romp at home against relegation scrappers Bournemouth, Villa have now collected 13 points from their last five Premier League outings. With that run stemming all the way back to February 28th, the midweek guests have also gained a reputation for their extended defensive steel. It should be noted, Emery’s high-flying squad have shipped just a single strike on their five-match unbeaten run.

Team News

Aston Villa once again look set to be without the duo of Matty Cash and Jed Steer when they travel to the King Power in midweek. Likewise, ex-Liverpool superstar Philippe Coutinho is still several weeks away from make a first-team return.

Now finding the net in each of his last five straight Premier League appearances away from Villa Park, England international Ollie Watkins will spearhead Emery’s charge on Tuesday night.

Key Factors to Consider

Conclusion

Storming their way to a stellar 2-0 victory away at Stamford Bridge over the weekend, Leicester should be smelling the chance to make another Premier League statement here.

Sacking Rodgers less than 48 hours ago following a last-gasp 2-1 loss against Crystal Palace, the Foxes find themselves battling it out in the bottom-three. Failing to win any of their last seven straight domestic showdowns, we are backing an away draw no bet in midweek.
