It’s hard to know what to expect from Aston Villa this season. Unai Emery’s side might be excelling in the Champions League but their league form has suffered, with just eight wins from 19 games. After convincingly beating Man City just before Christmas, they were thumped by Newcastle and then drew with Brighton. They’ll want to start the new year with a victory and will be confident of creating plenty of chances against a struggling Leicester.
It’s been a rude awakening for Ruud van Nistelrooy who started life as manager of Leicester with a win and a draw but has since seen his side slip to four consecutive defeats. The Foxes have conceded 12 in those games and scored just once, highlighting the problems at both ends of the pitch. However, they do have a good record at Villa Park, winning three of their last four league games.
Can Leicester secure a crucial win or will Villa get back to winning ways? Tune in to find out, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Can you watch Aston Villa vs Leicester in the U.K.?
Unfortunately, there will be no Aston Villa vs Leicester live stream in the U.K.. That's because games that kick-off at 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon are subject to a TV blackout, to protect attendances elsewhere in the league pyramid.
Fans visiting the U.K. from abroad can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.
As it stands, live Premier League rights are split two ways in the U.K. between Sky Sport and TNT Sports.
For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off.
