Leicester City's bid to avoid relegation from the Premier League continues when they take on Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

City travel to Villa Park looking to secure all three points and boost their chances of returning to the Championship. Ruud van Nistelrooy's team are 19th in the Premier League table and two points adrift of 17th-placed Wolves who occupy the spot just outside the relegation zone.

The Foxes go into the clash against Villa on the back of defeats at the hands of Newcastle, Wolves, Liverpool and Manchester City in their previous four fixtures. Leicester are without a win since December 3 against West Ham, which was just their third victory in the top flight this season since their promotion from the Championship.
