Aston Villa vs Leicester Odds: Three best bets for Sunday's only live Premier League clash

Live on Sky Sports, Aston Villa host Leicester in the Premier League this Sunday at the Villa Park at 4.30pm. After 5 consecutive defeats, Villa hired new boss Steven Gerrard and the difference is there for every one to see. They have since won 2 premier league games in a row and lost narrowly to Manchester City in a spirited display. The morale is high and performances have improved, so Villa fans will be confident of another positive results when Brendan Rodgers' men travel to Villa Park.

Leicester come into this game off the back of 2 wins and a draw in all competitions but they are struggling defensively. They have now conceded at least 1 goal in their last 14 games in a row in all competitions so they clearly need to tighten up that defence.

Both these teams have underperformed this season so far and would have expected to be higher up the table at this stage of the season. An intriguing clash awaits us and as usual, I have you covered with my 3 best Aston Villa v Leicester tips included in the preview below:

Team News:

Traore, Bailey and Trezeguet are out for Villa while Targett, Ings & Jacob Ramsey are doubtful.

Fofana, Ricardo Pereira and Bertrand are out for Leicester while James Justin, Maddison & Tielemens are doubtful.

Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett; Nakamba, Luiz; Buendia, McGinn, Young; Watkins  

Leicester possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas; Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Perez, Maddison, Barnes; Vardy 

Aston Villa have seen both teams score in 3 of their last 4 home games in the Premier League while Leicester have seen this bet land in 100% of their away games so far this season (7/7). This bet also landed in their head to head meeting here last season in a 2-1 win for Leicester and I can certainly see both teams getting on the scoresheet here again. Take BTTS - YES @ 8/11 as our first bet of the game with a 1pt stake.

I can see both teams cancelling each other out on Sunday. Both Villa & Leicester come into this fixture in mixed form as both teams have won just 2 out of their last 8 games in all competitions. Leicester have drawn their last 3 out of 4 away Premier League fixtures and I am predicting points to be shared once again at Villa Park. I am happy to have to this as our 2nd bet with a small 0.5pt stake.

Ollie Watkins is Aston Villa’s top scorer with 4 goals and is in great goalscoring form having scored 3 in his last 5 appearances. Jamie Vardy is Leicester’s top goalscorer with 9 goals in 14 appearances in the Premier League so far this season. Ndidi averages the most fouls in the Leicester team and is their most booked player with 3 yellow cards to his name in 10 games. Combining these 3 selections gives us a juicy longshot @ 28/1 and I am happy to have a very small 0.25pt stake on it as our final bet for this exciting clash.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
