MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Aston Villa have won only three of the past 15 league meetings (D6, L6).
Leeds, who triumphed 3-0 at Villa Park last season, can earn three consecutive away league wins against Villa for the first time.
Aston Villa
They have taken 16 points from 10 league matches under Steven Gerrard (W5, D1, L4).
However, only the three promoted sides have lost more games this season than the 11 by Villa.
Aston Villa are one of three teams to have scored in all of their Premier League home fixtures this season, alongside Liverpool and West Ham.
Philippe Coutinho can become the first player to score in both of his first two Villa Premier League home appearances since Carlton Cole in August 2004.
Leeds United
This is Leeds' 4,000th league match. The last four teams to reach this milestone as a Premier League side have lost their 4000th game.
They have lost four of their past six Premier League games.
Leeds are vying to win consecutive league away fixtures for the first time this season.
The Whites have only conceded once in open play in three Premier League games in 2022.
Marcelo Bielsa's side have conceded 20 goals in their last seven league matches, as many as in their first 14 of the season.
Raphinha has been directly involved in 25 goals in 49 Premier League appearances, scoring 14 goals and setting up 11.

Jesus H Christ with bells on - James is once again our 'target man up front' with Gelhardt warming the bench. How many chances will we create tonight only to see them wasted by a cutting edge so blunt it could barely slice a ripe tomato. I suppose Rodrigo the Spanish International centre forward may play up top but, statistically, he has been very average (apart from 2 good games at the back end of last season).
