Aston Villa look to rebound from an FA Cup shock when they host a Leeds United side that have become a tricky opponent in recent weeks.
Villa were dumped out of the FA Cup at home by fourth-tier Stevenage on a match that turned dramatically on Leander Dondecker’s 85th-minute red card, a match-leveling penalty that followed and Dean Campbell’s 90th-minute winner. The defeat is only the third since manager Unai Emery took over shortly before the World Cup break.
Leeds also weren’t at their best in the cup against a lower-division opponent, but at least the Peacocks forced a replay following a 2-2 draw at Cardiff City. Manager Jesse Marsch’s side is winless in its last six overall, though they earned draws in their last two league fixtures and have faced a tough run of fixtures.
These teams last met in October at Elland Road, when then-manager Steven Gerrard saw his Villa side fail to capitalize on the lion’s share of chances in a 0-0 draw.
