Head-to-Head Record
It has become a battle back-and-forth between Leicester and Villans this season, with three completely different result.
In early December, an imperious Leicester sweep them to the side at Villa Park, with a brace either side attack Vardy arrival of Kelechi Iheanacho and Jonny Evans in the 4-1 demolition of their opposition.
Villa got their revenge in Cup Carabao, using an unexpected first-leg 1-1 draw at the King Power to spring a surprise in the second leg, with the winner of this Trezeguet in death and heroic goalkeeper Orjan Nyland is sealing Wembley appearance for men Dean Smith.
Prediction
Shock Carabao Cup semifinal exit to Villa has somewhat derailed Leicester season, with just one win from their last seven league games put what looked finished the Champions League assured at risk.
Villa requiring greater of points after slipping into the relegation zone ahead of their cup heartache at Wembley but they should take confidence from what is ultimately a narrow defeat to Manchester City.
Brendan Rodgers will know very well not to underestimate the visitors given their two previous meetings since the turn of the year and the Foxes should have the quality to seek some revenge.
Prediction: Leicester 2 1 Aston Villa
