With Brendan Rodgers leaving his post by mutual consent, Leicester will play host to Aston Villa on Tuesday with a lot of uncertainty at the club. This Premier League match will be played at the King Power Stadium. The hosts were dragged into the relegation zone after their latest match and are 19th with 25 points from 28 matches, while the visitors are ninth with 41 points. Despite taking the lead, the Foxes fell to a 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace on Saturday making it their sixth loss in seven competitive matches with the other match ending in a draw. It has been an inconsistent season with Leicester losing five of their last six matches in this competition. Even at home, they have lost five of their last seven league matches throwing their season into disarray.
Aston Villa on the other hand have been flying high. They defeated Chelsea 2-0 over the weekend making it an unbeaten five-game run in the competition. Four wins and a draw over this period has given them enough wings to dream of a European qualification. With only two points separating them from top-six despite having played a couple more matches, With all four wins coming with a clean sheet, their defensive prowess is improving which is a good sign if they are going to make a late dash for European spots. More importantly, their away form has been very impressive with five wins out of their last seven away league games, losing only at Manchester City.
