Leeds United vs Aston Villa Preview

Leeds United welcome Aston Villa to Elland Road on Sunday afternoon for a Premier League encounter that sees the hosts desperately seeking a revival against a Villa side brimming with confidence. Leeds enter this fixture having suffered a 3-1 defeat away at Nottingham Forest in their most recent outing, a result that extended their worrying losing streak. Prior to that setback, they were beaten 3-0 away at Brighton & Hove Albion, leaving them with just one victory from their last five matches. That solitary success came via a 2-1 home win over West Ham United. Earlier in this sequence, Leeds endured a 2-0 loss away at Burnley and also fell 2-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur, leaving them with one win and four defeats across their last five fixtures – a run of form that will cause significant concern.

Aston Villa arrive at Elland Road in considerably better spirits, having secured a commanding 4-0 home victory over AFC Bournemouth in their most recent match. That emphatic result demonstrated their attacking quality and represented their third win from their last five outings. Prior to that success, Villa claimed a 2-0 home win against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in European competition and also recorded a crucial 1-0 home victory over Manchester City in the Premier League. However, they did suffer defeats during this period, losing 2-0 away at Liverpool and falling 2-1 away at Go Ahead Eagles, leaving them with three wins and two losses across their last five matches.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Aston Villa, who have won three of the last five meetings between these sides, with no Leeds victories alongside two draws. Most recently, Villa secured a 2-1 home win in January 2023, while the sides played out a goalless draw at Elland Road in October 2022. Villa also claimed victories of 1-0 at home in July 2022 and an impressive 3-0 away win at Elland Road in March 2022, with the other recent meeting ending in a 3-3 draw at Villa Park in February 2022.

Sunday’s encounter represents a crucial opportunity for Leeds to arrest their alarming slide and claim a rare victory over opponents who have dominated recent meetings between the sides. Aston Villa, riding the momentum of their emphatic victory over Bournemouth, will be confident of extending their excellent record in this fixture and maintaining their push up the table. The match kicks off at 14:00 GMT, with fans in Great Britain able to watch on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Go, while international viewers can tune in via beIN Sports across the Middle East and Africa, fuboTV and USA Network in the USA, or DAZN in Canada.
