Aston Villa will be looking to register successive wins in the Premier League for the first time since November as they welcome Leeds United to Villa Park on Wednesday.
Aston Villa beat Everton 1-0 before heading into the international break. Emiliano Buendia scored the only goal of the game from a Lucas Digne corner right before half-time. It came on the back of a resurgent performance against Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Red Devils had raced to a 2-0 lead but Philippe Coutinho turned things around for Steven Gerrard's men with an assist and a goal in the final 15 minutes to draw the game. With Coutinho added to the mix, Aston Villa have a very creative and talented frontline and it could cause a lot of trouble for Leeds United.
Meanwhile, Marcelo Bielsa's men lost 1-0 to Newcastle United in their latest game after picking up back-to-back over Burnley and West Ham United. Leeds United are currently 15th in the Premier League table with 22 points from 21 games.
They have a set of tough fixtures ahead of them. Leeds United will face Everton, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City over the next four weeks.
The teams below them bolstered their squads in the January transfer window and how Leeds United fare in this string of fixtures could end up deciding their fate this season.
