Leeds United are currently in 10th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly inconsistent this season. Marcelo Bielsa's swashbuckling side thrashed Southampton by a 3-0 margin earlier this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Aston Villa are in eighth place in the Premier League table at the moment and have endured a slump in recent weeks. The away side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City last weekend and cannot afford to slip up in this match.
