Leeds are coming off a solid win over Southampton but their injuries are increasing day by day. They will now remain at home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Aston Villa on Saturday. Aston Villa are coming off a tough home loss and have been struggling with consistency lately.

Leeds (11-12-2) did a great job in their home match against Southampton on Monday, beating them by 0-3 with three second-half goals. However, that was their 2nd win in their last five, losing the other three (2-3-0). Leeds are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 35 points, scoring 43 and conceding 43 goals so far. They have a 5-5-2 record at home, winning four of their last six there (4-2-0). They will have 7 players unavailable and 1 questionable for this match.

Aston Villa (11-9-3) were unable to take anything from their home match against Leicester last week. They conceded two early goals and eventually lost by 2-1. They finished 2020 strong but they have struggled a lot in 2021, winning just three of their 10 matches in that span (3-6-1). Aston Villa are now sitting at the 8th spot of the league table with 36 points, scoring 37 and conceding 26 goals so far. They have been quite effective on the road (6-4-2), scoring 17 and conceding 10 goals in the process.

Leeds did a great job against Aston Villa in the reverse fixture, beating them by 3-0. They have been excellent as hosts against them over the years, going undefeated in their last six (2-0-4) and losing just twice since 1991 (6-2-9). If Leeds were at full force I would go with Leeds, but their numerous injuries have me looking the opposite way.
