Our prediction: Aston Villa v Leeds
Both teams could break out into the ‘next level’ with a victory here. Villa could launch themselves from mid-table mediocrity into the top-half battle.
Leeds can almost catch tonight’s opposition and put distance between themselves and the firecracker relegation battle beneath them.
It should be a tight game, but on home soil at a rocking Villa Park, the hosts’ talent should shine through and nick the victory.
Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-0 Leeds (17/2 at bet365)
