Comments, predictions Leicester vs Aston Villa: Home team is in real pain

Latest Leicester vs Aston Villa team information

Leicester's Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk remain out with long-term ankle injuries, but Luke Thomas and Conor Coady are back.

Thomas played the full match, while Coady came on for the second half. Neither are expected to start on Saturday, with Cooper likely to stick with the same back four as against Fulham: James Justin, Faes, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen. New signings Oliver Skipp and Facundo Buonanotte could start alongside Winks and Ndidi in midfield, while Jamie Vardy is expected to return to attack, supported by Abdul Fatawu and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Aston Villa will be without Matty Cash for around a month with a hamstring injury, so Kosta Nedeljkovic or Ezri Konsa could deputise at right-back. Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are still recovering from knee injuries, while Robin Olsen could return to the bench after a facial injury. Morgan Rogers is expected to continue to attack behind Watkins, while Leon Bailey, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans and John McGinn could keep their places in midfield.

Latest Leicester vs Aston Villa match review

After taking a point at home to Tottenham, Leicester returned from Craven Cottage with a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, despite Wout Faes equalising for Leicester. Alex Iwobi restored Fulham's advantage after the break, and Leicester's second attempt at a draw was unsuccessful.

Leicester then booked their place in the third round of the EFL Cup with a 4-0 win over Tranmere Rovers, with goals from Jordan Ayew, Stephy Mavididi, Wilfred Ndidi and Harry Winks. It was Steve Cooper's first win as manager. Cooper was impressed with the performance from his team and will hope the young squad and veteran players can continue their positive form in the Premier League. He will also be keen to avoid becoming the first manager to fail to win his first three league games since Paulo Sousa in 2010.

Aston Villa failed to build on their opening win over West Ham with three points against Arsenal, losing 2-0 at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins missed a vital chance and saw his header saved by David Raya. Unai Emery accepted the result and stressed the need for improvement. Emery is targeting a top-10 or top-six finish and is looking for improvement in a defence that has conceded 15 goals in its last seven Premier League games.

Villa have won seven of their last 28 meetings with Leicester, but are in good form with two wins and a draw in their last three trips to the King Power. Both teams have been poor defensively this season, with many of their recent meetings featuring three or more goals. If Aston Villa learn from their defeat to Arsenal and take their chances better, they could find a way to win against Leicester.
