Leicester City meets Aston Villa in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup Semi Final first leg at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes are favourites to establish a lead against Villa this week.

Leicester City FC

Leicester City host Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium this week, hoping to establish a Carabao Cup Semi Final first leg lead healthy enough to make their second leg at the end of the month a formality.

After a run of three wins on the spin, spirits in the Leicester camp will be high ahead of Wednesday’s contest, and the Foxes successive Premier League setbacks against Man City and Liverpool at the end of last year are already firmly in the rear-view mirror.

Leicester’s 0-4 reverse at home to a rampant Liverpool on Boxing Day remains their only loss at the King Power Stadium so far this season, and City’s record of eight wins on their own patch from 11 overall this term shines a light on how difficult a task Villa face on Wednesday.

The Villains job is made doubly hard by the importance Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has placed on the Carabao Cup his season, and the Foxes are expected to make minimal changes to their first choice XI for Wednesday’s first leg.

Aston Villa FC

Villa boss Dean Smith’s first order of business will be to rally his players after the club’s disappointing 2-1 FA Cup third round defeat at Championship outfit Fulham at the weekend.

The Villains were roundly outplayed by their hosts at Craven Cottage, and the result extended Villa’s horrible away run that now reads just one win, one draw and six defeats from eight matches.

Villa, who are still searching for their first away clean sheet of any description and in any competition this season, shipped 2.125 goals per 90 minutes across their last eight fixtures on the road, and that porous backline should struggle badly again to contain a talented Leicester frontline this week.

Shorn of the services of first choice stopper Tom Heaton, starting left back Matt Targett, midfield mainstay John McGinn and centre-forward Wesley, Villa lack the personnel to overcome their horrible away form this week, and we’re tipping Leicester to take full advantage.

Aston Villa FC: Nyland; Konsa, Mings, Hause; Guilbert, Luiz, Nakamba, Taylor; Trezeguet, Kodjia, Grealish.

LEI VS AVL: Best players

Leicester City: James Maddison

Maddison has undoubtedly built on his breakthrough season and now stands as one of the Foxes’ most instrumental players. After going through a drought in front of goal, he’s rediscovered his finishing touch, but it’s his ability to regularly create chances that makes him invaluable to Brendan Rodgers.

Key stat: James Maddison has scored three goals across three Carabao Cup appearances this season.

Aston Villa: Jack Grealish

It seems with each passing week Jack Grealish’s importance for Villa’s cause grows. He will again be the one they turn to as Dean Smith seeks a final berth and put recent disappointing performances – including a FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Fulham – behind them.

Key stat: Jack Grealish is Aston Villa’s leading scorer in all competitions this season (eight goals).
