For the 20th matchday of the English Premier League, Aston Villa welcomes Leeds to Villa Park.
Aston Villa come from a draw as they were tied 1-1 at home against Wolves the previous matchday. A fair result with both teams having one half each, in the first the visiting team was better and went to the locker room in front of the score. In the second half, Villa increased their performance and in the 78th minute they equalized, while in stoppage time they missed a great opportunity for the winning goal.
Even so, Emery's team continues its upward trend lately, counting in the last 5 matches 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and at the end of the match he found her in 11th place with 22 points.
Last Sunday, however, they fell victim to a surprise, they were defeated in the cup by Stevenage 2-1, despite the fact that until the 85th he was ahead of the score, and was excluded from the continuation of the event.
Second consecutive league draw for Leeds, held 2-2 at home to West Ham. In the first half, without being particularly good, she opened the scoring in the 28th minute, but shortly before the break she conceded the equalizer. In fact, at the beginning of the replay, he was behind in the score, but he did not give up and in the 70th minute he equalized, forming the final result.
This was the 4th match in a row for Leeds that is far from victory, resulting in remains low in the standings and specifically in 14th place with 17 points and just minus 2 from dangerous zone.
They also drew for the cup last week, drawing 2-2 in Wales against Cardiff and will now play for qualification in a single leg replay at home.
Aston Villa looks improved in the last matches after the change in their bench and imagines the favorite in today's match against a Leeds that shows many weaknesses away from home. However, the playing style of the "Peacocks" and the quality they have in the middle and in front of us suggests a match with many phases and goals.
