Much less to their advantage this season compared to the previous year, Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League and are 2 small points ahead of the relegation zone. After having lined up 6 games without a win, 1 draw and 5 defeats and ended this bad dynamic with 2 heavy defeats against Liverpool 6-0 and against Tottenham 0-4, coach Marcelo Bielsa was dismissed. Last weekend, Raphinha's teammates did not resume their march forward and lost to Leicester for the 1st on the bench of Jesse Marsch 1-0. Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the classification, Aston Villa is in the 11th in the Premier League with 33 points on the clock.
After a bad series marked by a single success gleaned in 7 games, the Villans resumed their march forward during the last 2 days. Authors of very good performances, they won at Brighton 0-2 before outclassing Southampton at home last weekend 4-0.
The workforce of Leeds is further reduced by the packages of holders Cooper and Phillips and replacement Hjelde. Moreover, the participation of the titular defender Llorente is still not assured. Bothered by the physical glitches this season, the home striker Bamford found the group last weekend, without coming into play. This week, he could play his first minutes since December 5. With 61 goals conceded, Leeds have the worst defense in the Premier League.
On the side of Aston Villa, midfielder Nakamba is still unavailable this weekend, injured. In addition, the young Chukwuemeka, also absent on the last day, is uncertain. All scorers against Southampton, strikers Coutinho, Ings and Watkins could start again this Thursday.

Leeds have been in absolutely miserable form recently, collecting just two points from a possible 23 and losing four consecutive matches in front of their own supporters. The picture has been a somewhat different one as far as Aston Villa are concerned, with their charges recording nine wins in 12 Premier League fixtures, including four in a row of late.
