Immediately after returning to the Premier League, Leicester managed to take points from the formidable Tottenham (1:1) in the opening round.

Aston Villa
EnglandCurrent form
Aston Villa have three points after two rounds. The result was quite expected, given the opponents at the start. In the first round there was a 2:1 victory over Fulham, then they lost to Arsenal (0:2). It cannot be said that the Birmingham team played poorly against the Gunners, they definitely played for their goal, but the implementation let them down. During the week, Unai Emery's charges were not distracted by the League Cup, they purposefully prepared for the away match with Leicester.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kamara, Mings and Cash are all injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Aston Villa have conceded first in four of their last five Premier League games
- Seven of Aston Villa's previous 10 league games have seen at least three goals scored
Probable line-up : Martinez - Nedeljkovic, Konsa, Torres, Digne - Bailey, Onana, Tielemans, McGinn - Rodgers - Watkins.

8.10Tip and bets
It is noticeable that Aston Villa is gradually improving. The 0:2 defeat to Arsenal should not be too misleading, as there were enough moments in attack, and the opponent should be given credit. We believe that today, due to experience and an advantage in class, the Birmingham team will gain three points, especially since the opponent had a match in the League Cup this week, even if they did not play with their main lineup.
Our prediction is Aston Villa to win at odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Leicester are not doing well in attack, they have not been able to score more than one goal in the two previous rounds, and even then they largely took advantage of their opponents' mistakes. It is unlikely that Aston Villa will allow much at their goal today, but at the same time they themselves will not be able to roam around in the Foxes' penalty area.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.52
Betting on shots on target
Let's note a promising trend in personal meetings. In the last seven face-to-face matches on the Leicester field, the teams did not make more than nine shots on target. Accordingly, we recommend a betting tip for statistics.
Betting Tip – shots on target: total under 9.5 with odds of 1.80
