Aston Villa take on the visitors Leeds in the round 20 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, January 13th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa had introduced a new tradition: for the 2nd autumn in a row the coach has been changing. However, both steps were justified. Dean Smith simply did not understand how to play without Jack Grealish, who was sold to Manchester City in the summer of 2021. And Steven Gerrard has shown in a year of work that he can only cope with the struggle for survival and is not able to bring an ambitious club from Birmingham to a qualitatively different, higher level. It is noteworthy that it turned out to lure Unai Emery - have they just promised the Spaniard, in addition to the opportunity to rehabilitate in the Premier League? Not everything works out for him in a new place, but in almost every match, new wards at least claim points. Aston Villa won against Manchester United and Brighton back in November, and in the winter they won 2-0 on the Tottenham field in the case. However, there were defeats to Liverpool and only a draw with Wolverhampton.

Leeds are in their 3rd consecutive season in the Premier League. And they are are again unstable and reluctant to score points. For 17 matches, there were only 4 wins and 17 points - by no means sky-high numbers. In winter, it was not possible to win at all. True, having lost completely to the champion, Manchester City, 1-3, after that the team shared points with ambitious teams. It turned out different fights: with Newcastle they stood on a 0-0, but with West Ham after 4 days at home, alternately going ahead in the score, finished 2-2. The final result was framed by Rodrigo's strike, and for the Spaniard this is already the 10th goal in the current Premier League draw - that's who there are no complaints about. In the previous 2 full seasons he scored 13 goals together in England.
In the last 4 official head-to-head matches, Aston Villa alternates between wins and draws. In October, the clubs managed to score no goals at Elland Road. Aston Villa, under the current coach, looks like a team that understands how to play, however, it doesn’t always work out on the field to convert all its plans. But still, we believe that this time, with the unstable Leeds at home, Unai Emery's wards will be able to achieve the maximum possible results and win.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa to win.
