This Saturday, Leicester City will face Unai Emery's Aston Villa team in a crucial matchup at Villa Park. The Premier League returns with another round of ...

Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa will try to climb into the top half of the league table, a move that would be commendable given their recent progress. In comparison to Aston Villa’s 36 victories, Leicester City has a strong record against the Villans, winning 44 of the 106 matches played between the two teams. Twelve of the last 13 games that have taken place at Villa Park between the two teams have seen goals scored by both teams. In last week’s crucial 1-0 win over Southampton, the home team will aim for a similar outcome in this matchup. However, this weekend’s matchup between the two teams could end in a tie. The Premier League’s 14th-place team, Leicester City, has failed to live up to expectations thus far this season. Daniel Amartey, 3. Daniel Iversen, 2. Leicester City has won two of their last four matches against Aston Villa in the Premier League, after winning only four of their first 22 games. In the Premier League, Leicester City has won two of their last three away games against Aston Villa, which is the same number of victories they had in their first ten. This weekend, they will attempt to up their game. On the other hand, under Unai Emery, Aston Villa has moved up to 11th place in the league table.

Aston Villa vs Leicester City LIVE updates from Villa Park (Birmingham Live)

We're live in B6 as Unai Emery looks to make it three wins on the bounce and to propel Aston Villa into the top half of the Premier League.

The ball comes off the underside of the crossbar and Ollie Watkins races ahead of Castagne to half-volley home. Douglas Luiz rolls the ball to Bailey to cross. Ramsey's at the far post but Kristiansen is ahead of him to put it behind. Kamara with the ball out to Leon Bailey who chops back inside and feeds Emi Buendia. It was a tap in at the far post, that one. Emi Martinez played it to Kamara right in front of him from a goal kick. Bailey cuts inside and powers towards the far post with his left foot. Iheanacho gobbled up the loose ball and feeds Tete who rounded Martinez for 2-3. That is the big challenge to improve.” It's football suicide at times from Villa who are playing needless passes out from the back. Villa will be relying on the results of Brentford and Liverpool to do that but, with 18 games remaining, Emery believes Villa can really push on having won five of the last seven league games. The returning [Bertrand Traore](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/all-about/aston-villa-fc) is expected back next week due to a knee injury while Diego Carlos remains sidelined.

Tetê, the Brazilian winger signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, scored on debut to give Leicester the lead at the end of jam-packed first half in which Villa twice squandered their advantage, before the substitute Dennis Praet sealed victory late on. Maddison, making his first league start in two months, was a class act throughout and soon equalised after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall robbed Boubacar Kamara, before Tete made his mark. He was brilliant after the break and had another few shots, but was unable to find the net. He also picked out Barnes for Iheanacho's equaliser, and delivered some dangerous set-pieces.
