This weekend’s swan song fixture pits Leicester City against Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are unbeaten through the first four Gameweeks and have lost just once in their previous 13 league outings. The Villains, meanwhile, are without a win in three, most recently drawing 2-2 at home to Sunderland.
Leicester’s forward line is in fine fettle at the start of this campaign, ranking joint-third for goals scored (eight) and claiming the third best shot conversion rate (17.4%). Although they’re yet to earn a clean sheet, the East Midlands club has performed competently at the back, too, conceding just four big chances in as many outings.
Notwithstanding their away win over Bournemouth in the opening Gameweek, Villa have hit the target just five times on their travels, offering encouragement for investors in the Foxes’ back line. Likewise, the Black Cats will be emboldened by the fact that only Newcastle United have fashioned fewer attempts (11) in their home matches than Leicester (14).
