Leicester cross me as a team with talent going forward but a bit shaky at the back.  2-2

Look at this pre match analysis and prediction from Chris Sutton on the beeb.
What an absolutely contradictory load of bollocks…..we really aren’t rated are we?

Basically, Leicester are shit, villa have been good but can’t possibly win.

Aston Villa v Leicester

Leicester still haven't won a Premier League game since the World Cup and are getting a bit desperate, although at least their draw with Leeds stopped a run of four straight league losses.

Villa, in contrast, have won three and drawn one of their past four games and, on current form, they have to be favourites here.

But the Foxes still have some good players and James Maddison should be fit enough to start - he might just make the difference.
1-1

They’re missing a few key players apparently. Good.

Like who?

Leicester are a funny one, a bit like West Ham you feel they should be doing better with the players they have at their disposal. Barnes, Maddison and Dewsbury-Hall are all quality players, and I'd be happy to see any of those at Villa.

Yes and it makes them dangerous.

It does but only Bournemouth have conceded more than them.

I think it’s the novelty of a Saturday 3:00 kick off but I’m really looking forward to this and expecting a good performance with a convincing Villa win.

Weren't cornalties/set-pieces Leicester's achilles heel in terms of conceding goals for the last 18 months?

I remember some commentator (probably Guy Mowbray and his braying voice) mentioning recently that they had brought in their own Nanny McPhee and it was beginning to show in a positive sense.

We have to hope we can out Nanny McPhee their Nanny McPhee. With Dougie stepping up they won't know what to do.

They'll sing that "your city is blue"  nonsense as well.

Fitness report from the club has Digne and McGinn available so expect both on the bench and then said Bert will resume training next week. No mention of Carlos but I think he's the only other injured player now so we should have a pretty much full squad to pick from.
