Team News

Leeds
Aston Villa
  • Kalvin Phillips and Rodrigo are both set to miss out once again for Leeds, while Marcelo Bielsa has conceded Mateusz Klich looks unlikely to feature against Aston Villa after coming off injured on Tuesday.
  • Jack Harrison was replaced by Helder Costa at half-time for tactical reasons and his place in the XI may be in doubt here after Costa assisted one of Leeds' goals.
  • Injuries may force Bielsa to revert to a more traditional formation against Aston Villa.
  • The news Villa fans were dreading that Jack Grealish will miss out once more was confirmed by Dean Smith on Friday.
  • His absence could see Ross Barkley keep his place in the starting XI despite being wildly out of form since his return from injury in January.
  • However, Aston Villa supporters must be wondering why they signed Morgan Sanson last month. Surely it's time to give the ex-Marseille midfielder a run in the side.
  • Ahmed El Mohamady looks set to keep his place in the team at right-back with Matty Cash still a few weeks away from full fitness.
  • With Grealish out, Anwar El-Ghazi, Bertrand Traore and Trezeguet will battle for two places in the side.

Prediction

  • Leeds rode their luck early on against Southampton but eventually ran out 3-0 winners on Tuesday night. Raphinha and Patrick Bamford have been in great form of late.
  • Aston Villa slipped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Leicester last weekend in the absence of captain Jack Grealish. After going 2-0 down in 23 minutes, it looked like Leicester would run away with it so Villa did well to dig in and battle back.
  • Looking ahead to this fixture and it's difficult to get behind an away win, particularly with Grealish missing out once again. Even with him, Villa lost 3-0 at home to Leeds in the reverse fixture this season, with Patrick Bamford scoring a hat-trick. Moreover, Villa haven't won at Elland Road in their last six attempts.

  • As predicted, the team with less possession of the ball won.

  • @SeuneMilmas yes, this was one of this one in a hundred predictions when you are randomly right

  • Minute of play 21:54 Liam Cooper (Leeds United) header from the centre of the box is saved in the top centre of the goal. Diego Llorente is a misrepresentation.

  • @skorpionmk this is also confirmed on other sites such as the BBC. Can you look into changing this?

  • @MK110 Liam Cooper headed the ball on target. The video of the match verified it without doubt.

  • 0:0 full game

  • Leeds to win by two goals

  • Leeds not to lose.

  • 2-0 Grealish is a huge loss for Villa.

  • @nexus747 I'll be shocked if Villa don't win 1-0 without Grealish in the team.

  • @SeuneMilmas lol 5 mins to go ������

  • Will end 0-0

  • Leeds - Aston Villa 1:1(0:0)

  • 1-0
