Aston Villa v Leeds United


Villa Park

Birmingham, England

Saturday, 21 February 2026

Kick-off: 17:00

 

Aston Villa will be keen to keep up with fellow Premier League title contenders, Arsenal and Manchester City, by overcoming Leeds United at Villa Park on 21 February. 

 

Current Form

Aston Villa claimed a 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion at home on 11 February as they bounced back in the English top tier, having been winless in two matches.

The victory also ended the Villans' two-match winless run at home in the Premier League, having registered two back-to-back defeats at Villa Park before overcoming Brighton.

Meanwhile, Leeds drew 2-2 with Chelsea FC away on 10 February and they are undefeated in their last two matches in the English top-flight, having recorded one win, and one draw.

However, the draw at Stamford Bridge extended the Whites' winless run to 10 matches, having registered five defeats, including four in a row, and five draws as the visitors. 


Team News

Villa will be without the suspended Marco Bizot, while his teammates Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Youri Tielemans and Alysson are nursing injuries.

 

Leeds, on the other hand, have Anton Stach and Pascal Struijk as the only two players who are injured at the moment, and there are suspension worries. 

 

Quotes

 

“Tammy Abraham scored one goal two weeks ago that was taken away by VAR and today he scored," Villa manager Unai Emery said about Tammy Abraham after the team's defeat to Newcastle United in the FA Cup.

 

“He worked fantastically and his adaptation is going quickly. We will need his help, his commitment and his performance like today. We’ll have players coming back in the next weeks 

 

"And months for the two competitions we’re going to face, being excited and motivated for it.”

 

Head-to-Head

 

Villa secured a 2-1 win over Leeds in their last Premier League meeting which was at Elland Road in November 2025.

 

As a result, the Villans are undefeated in their last six league games against the Whites, having recorded four wins and two draws.
