There is a mid-week round of Premier League fixtures to look ahead to this weekend. All eyes will be on the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening, as Leicester City take to the field for the first time since Brendan Rodgers’ departure. Aston Villa will be the visitors.
Before Betting On Leicester City vs Aston Villa
A huge Midlands derby is staged at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, as Leicester City look for a huge victory in their bid to avoid relegation. The Foxes dropped into the bottom three over the weekend, as they suffered a fifth defeat in five matches at the hands of Crystal Palace. That defeat ended Rodgers’ tenure in charge of the team, as he was sacked on Sunday afternoon.
Leicester claimed a victory in the reverse fixture between the sides this season, and they will be looking to achieve just a third Premier League double over their local rivals. However, the Foxes have failed to score in their last two matches at the King Power against their rivals this week. Leicester has also endured a poor record at home in recent months, as they have suffered five defeats from their previous seven.
Unai Emery’s excellent tenure at Aston Villa continued over the weekend, as they picked up a huge victory on the road against Chelsea. That was the club’s fourth win in five matches, and they are yet to suffer defeat over that period. Another victory on Tuesday could lift the Midlands side up to sixth in the standings.
However, Villa has a poor record in midweek fixtures, as they have gone five without defeat in the league. Since a 3-0 win over Leeds in March 2022, the Villa has lost three of their five league matches that have been played in the middle of the week.

This will be a massive game for the home side on Tuesday. Their chances will be boosted after Villa has just won two of their previous 13 trips to Leicester. However, the form shown by the visitors has been too good to overlook in recent months.
