Why Aston Villa vs Leicester City isn't on TV explained as rule blocks Premier League broadcast
Aston Villa will be eager to return to winning ways when they take on Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon (3pm).
Villa will host the Foxes at Villa Park this weekend as they look to secure all three points against their Midlands neighbours. Unai Emery's team are without a win in their last two Premier League games - with their last victory coming against out-of-form champions Manchester City before Christmas.
A win over Leicester would see Villa's chances of qualifying for the Champions League revitalised, with the club currently in ninth spot and six points adrift of the top-four. It's also possible that fifth place could also qualify for Europe's marquee competition this season, depending on how England ranks in UEFA's coefficients.
