Leeds vs Aston Villa Match Prediction

Leeds' promising start back in the Premier League has quickly become a distant memory with four defeats in five leaving them just one point above the relegation-zone.

The White are usually able to rely on the Elland Road crowd to get them a result, but even at home they've been struggling of late with just one victory - the 2-1 win over West Ham last month - since beating Everton on the opening-day.

Aston Villa are one of the most in form teams in the Premier League having gone from inside the bottom-three to just two points behind third-place Chelsea in under two months following five wins in six.

Despite their improvements, the majority of Villa's good recent results have come at home with Unai Emery's side winning just once and scoring only three goals from their five games on the road.
