AVL vs LEI Dream11 team preview

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith had been struggling without a primary striker after Wesley Moraes went down with a knee injury. However, Mbwana Samatta has been signed as the replacement and he will be inserted straight in the line-up against Leicester City. After a 1-6 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City, Villa bounced back to play out a draw against Brighton. 

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers' side Leicester City will be aiming to make it to the Carabao Cup final to have a chance for their first trophy since winning the Premier League in 2016. After losing back-to-back games in the league, Leicester bounced back to beat West Ham United and most recently, Brentford in FA Cup. Jamie Vardy is expected to make his return to the line-up after his injury.
