Leicester vs Aston Villa LIVE updates from King Power Stadium (Birmingham Live)

BirminghamLive will be in position from the press box as Aston Villa bid to finally get back to winning ways against Brendan Rodgers' Foxes.

Boos from the Leicester crowd as Villa swap ends. Villa work the ball and win a corner. Watkins wanted the Brazilian to keep possession. Villa defend the danger well. Calum Chambers, on the bench today, could perhaps feel hard done by. Martinez just mops up the resultant attack. McGinn's the latest culprit as he gives Daka the ball on halfway before Konsa is on hand to eventually mop up the danger. Just far too casual from the Jamaican who should have scored. Didn't find the corners, though. Head coach Steven Gerrard is looking to do the double over his former mentor, Brendan Rodgers, following Villa's 2-1 win at Villa Park in the reverse fixture back in early December. Club writer Ashley Preece will be in the press box providing updates, below . Ahead of kick-off, Villa sit in 15th position having dropped a few places following their recent run of form.

Villama Preview: Leicester City v Aston Villa (7500 To Holte)

Steven Gerrard leads a rested Aston Villa to Leicester to take on Brendan Rogers' Foxes. Will the long awaited return of Marvelous Nakamba prove fruitful or ...

My preference would be to play Ramsey in the midfield and Buendia further forward on the right, though it is harsh to Luiz. In midfield is where decisions need to be made as Marvelous Nakamba almost certainly starts, anchoring for John McGinn and either Jacob Ramsey or Douglas Luiz. This has knock on effects further up front, as it looks to be Ollie Watkins at striker, with Philippe Coutinho on his left and either Emi Buendia or Jacob Ramsey to his right. Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konza should partner at center-back, though I wouldn’t be shocked to see Calum Chambers given another chance before the season ends.

Fofana has the sun in his eyes and gets his header all wrong, with Watkins winning the ball. The Argentinian goalkeeper just recovered in time. City are on top at the moment. He runs down an alley but in the process of turning back, Young goes through him. City need to be careful. It's easy for Martinez. Those two injury-time goals at Newcastle and Everton mean seventh is now very likely to be out of reach. Two changes for the visitors, with Young and Bailey in for Digne and Ings. Who will triumph at the King Power Stadium? Follow our blog below for updates throughout the afternoon. Fofana is too keen to get back at him and allows him to get into the box, cutting the ball back for Bailey. He should score, but blazes over. Mings is the man that Fofana is supposed to be man-marking, but at the end of the first half, the Villa centre-back jumped above him, and just now, Fofana lost him completely, with Mings unable to get a clean contact on the header. Big cheers and a big round of applause as Vardy gets in his first warm-up of the afternoon.

James Maddison starts again on the right, but he will be linking up with two new faces in attacking areas, with Daka and Lookman coming in. That means that Wesley Fofana and Timothy Castagne retain their places in the backline, with Rodgers choosing not to rotate his whole back four for the first game in a few weeks. James Justin, Caglar Soyuncu, Ademola Lookman, and Patson Daka are the quartet to come in, with Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Harvey Barnes, and Kelechi Iheanacho dropping out.

Aston Villa player ratings as Bailey misses golden chance in drab ... (Birmingham Live)

BirminghamLive brings you Aston Villa's player ratings from their 0-0 draw with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Had a decent chance which he fired straight at Schmeichel, and repeated that just after the break with the City captain standing firm at his front post. In for just his second start since November and missed a glaring chance on seven minutes, skying well over from six yards out after a good pick-out by Watkins. Bailey's rustiness continued here with a series of under-hit and off-target passes, while Gerrard turned away in disgust at a silly foul he conceded which allowed Maddison a free pop at Villa's goal from 25 yards. Douglas got sucked into Leicester's games in the second 45 and was in danger of being carded for a second time. Near non-existent in the first half but produced a purposeful run from deep just after the break. Did OK in the base of Villa's midfield, liked his work, rarely gave the ball away and took up decent positions to mop up danger. Benefited from a vote of confidence from the boss and started once again here, winning a crucial header just moments in.

Leicester City 0-0 Aston Villa: Jamie Vardy returns as teams play out ... (Daily Mail)

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Leicester were boosted by the return of Jamie Vardy after 10 matches out but he was not able to inspire Brendan ...

With Villa sitting deep and the Foxes lacking purpose in their approach work, there was little to entertain the crowd before the break. Then Villa fans sent a clear message to boss Gerrard by calling for Buendia to be introduced. In first-half stoppage time, James Maddison put a 25-yard free-kick just wide and Justin produced a fine recovery challenge to stop Philippe Coutinho testing Kasper Schmeichel from Bailey's cross. With the goal at his mercy, the Jamaican blasted over. Ollie Watkins did well in attack for Villa and the centre-back pairing of Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings were excellent – welcome news for Gerrard after his team's last game ended in a 4-0 home defeat by Tottenham. Not even the return of Jamie Vardy as a second-half substitute, for his first appearance since March 5 and only his third of an injury-hit 2022, could bring the game to life.

'It's All Set Up For A Big Summer At Villa' (Leicester City)

Aston Villa's players will be determined to impress manager Steven Gerrard ahead of a big summer for the club, according to Ashley Preece from Birmingham ...

He wants players who have been in the Champions League and in European big leagues to come in and really raise it. "There is likely to be a big overhaul of players in the summer. He wants experienced pedigree to come in." "In his interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, he said he wants to be adaptable depending on which team they’re playing again. "Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins are great Premier League players at times, but they’ve been a bit hit and miss to be fair. "He wants some big players in. "The 4-0 at home to Southampton sticks out, Villa were rampant that day," he continued. Dean Smith got the sack and then it was a big appointment to get Gerrard in from Ibrox. He started wonderfully. They’re going to Leicester with a bit of pressure because they need to get back to winning ways. You can get punished in this league and Villa are finding that out the hard way. He totally transformed everything and then he hit a bit of a sticky patch. "He won his first couple of games, against Brighton and Palace, and then they gave Man City a real good go as well.

Aston Villa: Jacob Ramsey was poor against Leicester City (FootballFanCast.com)

Aston Villa drew 0-0 with Leicester City in their Saturday afternoon Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium.

The first half saw both teams flatter to deceive, with just one shot on target each. Ollie Watkins continued to be the scourge of the Leicester defence but couldn’t find a way through. Villa started the better of the two, with Leon Bailey failing to take a glorious opportunity to give Steven Gerrard’s side the lead.

Leicester City vs Aston Villa Player Ratings: 7.5/10 for Mendy... (The Hard Tackle)

Leicester City held Aston Villa to a goalless draw at the King Power as both teams struggle to find a way through.

The attacker was isolated for most parts, and those few positive moments in the attack were quickly controlled by Leicester’s backline. This was one reason why Aston Villa lacked in the attack, as the main supply line was cut off, while Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey had to do many things on their own. McGinn had a terrible game, and his passing was out of sorts all day long. It was quite puzzling as to why Cash did not contribute much in the final third, considering he had limited defensive duty on the day. The trend of poor performances continued with Tielemans, as the midfielder lacked again with his display. There were two aspects to his game, as Maddison looked wasted on the right-wing, although he played beautifully when deployed in a familiar attacking midfield role. Mendy had a tremendous game in midfield, as he thwarted the threat posed by Coutinho in the attack. Fortunately for him, nothing went the visitors’ way, and then he took a nasty fall while escaping any injury. There were no dangerous moments for Schmeichel to deal with, although made some regulation saves in the second half. Here’s how the players fared as Leicester City and Aston Villa played out an entertaining goalless draw. Both teams cannot be questioned for the energy on display as they were charged up to get an untimely winner in the second half. In this match, the two goalkeepers were barely tested as it was mostly about attackers getting into good positions to squander their chances.

Leicester City 0-0 Aston Villa: 3 things FoL learned (Foxes of Leicester)

With Kelechi Iheanacho, Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy on the bench it was a surprise that not once during the 90 minutes did the Northern Irishman take a risk by attempting to use two strikers. Football supporters often complain about when their club’s matches are placed in the running order on BBC’s Match Of The Day. They once again got it wrong by placing Leicester City 0-0 Aston Villa on last – they should have just shown the result and spared everyone a waste of time. The less said about Steven Gerrard’s ugly Villans side the better, although if awards were given for time-wasting, foul-buying and general petulance then they will be cleaning up soon.
