Tonight’s Premier League clash Leicester City vs Aston Villa, two teams currently lying in the relegation zone will see the Foxes go against Villa at the King Power Stadium.
Aston Villa, who currently stands 16th in the league table has displayed poor performances one after another. Shocking some experts say, considering the invested heavily into bringing in talent into the team over the last couple of seasons. Villa, who are led by Steven Gerrard showed promising signs last season, however, they are yet to prove themselves this season. Against Fulham, Steven Gerrard’s men need to showcase their A-game if they are to climb up the table.
Leicester City, as well, has to play to the same intensity as Villa if not more in order to escape the relegation zone. Considering the kind of players Leicester possesses, they need to perform at full potential. The 2016 Champions are without a doubt a worthy mid-table team, thus, they ought to defeat Villa as they currently lie at the bottom of the league.
