The Leicester vs Aston Villa live stream takes place today (Saturday, April 23).
► Time 3 p.m. BST / 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT

Leicester are safely ensconced in mid-table, without any realistic hope of taking seventh spot and a European place but also well clear of relegation danger. They'll be more focused on their Europa Conference League semi-final first leg with Roma on Thursday, and may well rest players here.
Aston Villa aren't guaranteed Premier League football next year, but they sit 12 points clear of third bottom and are almost certainly safe too. But manager Steven Gerrard will want to arrest a slump that has seen them lose four successive games all the same.
Here's how they line up:
Leicester: Schmeichel, Justin, Fofana, Soyuncu, Tielemans, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Castagne, Daka, Lookman.
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Luiz, McGinn, Watkins, Young, Coutinho, Bailey, Ramsey.

Canadians can watch the Leicester vs Aston Villa live stream on DAZN.
