Aston Villa aim to stabilize their wobbly title race footing by winning consecutive Premier League games for the first time this year when solid Leeds United visit Villa Park on Saturday.
The Villans sit seven points back of leaders Arsenal before the Gunners play Wolves on Wednesday, and beat Brighton last time out to improve their uneven 2026 record to 3W-2D-2L. They’ve lost a pair of 1-0 home matches to Brentford and Everton in that stretch.
WATCH — Aston Villa v Leeds
Leeds, meanwhile, have lost just twice since the start of December and have been an absolute handful for teams up and down the table. Daniel Farke’s men are 4W-7D-2L during that time and came back from 2-0 down to draw Leeds in Week 26.
Still, that impressive run leaves Leeds just six points above 18th-place West Ham. Can Leeds get a measure of revenge for a 2-1 loss at Elland Road earlier this season to further ease their relegation worries.

Aston Villa vs Leeds prediction
This could be quite tight, as both teams have conceded more shots than they’ve taken in open play and do not possess impressive defensive records. Villa are home and have more consistent game changers, and that tips the scale for our pick. Aston Villa 3-1 Leeds United .
