2. Jack Grealish scores as Aston Villa hold Leicester to draw

One of four games on Sunday sees Aston Villa host second-place Leicester City. Villa are coming in to their own in the Premier League and should be safe this season but they need to make sure that they do more on their travels.

Dean Smith’s side have taken 11 of their 15 points at home and struggled to do much on the road. However, they may have turned a corner in the past week with a good 2-2 draw away at Manchester United and a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Chelsea. If they can keep putting in those kind of performances then their away form should soon rectify itself.

This weekend they face Brendan Rodgers’ fantastic Leicester side, who have not lost since the Oct. 5. The Foxes have been sensational this season and are deservedly sitting in second place, three points ahead of last year’s champions, Manchester City.

Everyone knew Leicester had a good side but nobody quite expect this kind of form from them this season. Rodgers’ will continue to play it cool and insist that if his side finish in the top four then it will have been a successful season.

If the Foxes are to do that then they need to keep up this good run with a win away at Villa this weekend. Villa are tough to break down at home and the atmosphere inside the stadium makes it tough for visiting teams.

Jack Grealish and John McGinn will net for the home side with Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez scoring for Leicester in an exciting 2-2 draw.
