Leeds vs Aston Villa

In form Aston Villa take on a Leeds side who have dropped into the relegation zone after four losses in their last five games. 

Daniel Farke’s side will need to make Elland Road a tough away trip to stay in the league and they have succeeded so far. 8pts in five league games with just 5 goals conceded, Leeds have relied on their home form to stay afloat in the opening months of the season.

Aston Villa have been on a resurgence having failed to win any of their opening five league fixtures. Since then, they have five wins in their last six, including a 4-0 demolition job of Bournemouth last time out. 

A major concern for Emery will be their lack of fire power up top, Watkins has netted just four times this season and they look like they miss loan signings Marcus Rashford & Marco Asensio who added some proven quality and impetus in the final third.

Our prediction:

1u: Leeds vs Aston Villa over 2.5 goals (-110)

The stats would suggest under 2.5 goals in this fixture, but I think both teams will see this as a must win fixture and this could result in quite an open game.
