The last time these two teams met was on October 2, 2022 and on that occasion the match ended in a 0-0 draw at Elland Road. That confrontation was full of fouls, yellow cards, corner kicks and many shots on goal that we hope will be repeated today.

They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.

The next three players are considered key to Aston Villa's attacking attack and any one of them is likely to be able to score or assist in the game against Leeds United. The player Danny Ings (#9) is a fundamental piece for the team for all that he contributes. He is the team's top scorer in the Premier League with 6 goals in 17 games played and he scored one goal last game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is a player with a lot of experience and has faced Leeds United multiple times, so he will be key to be able to defeat them. Next up is Ollie Watkins (#11), he plays in the forward position, during the tournament he has had 4 assists which makes him the highest assister on the team. At just 27 years old, he has shown himself to be a player capable of starting and contributing a lot to the team. Finally, Leon Bailey (#31) the 25-year-old who plays striker. He is the second highest scorer on the team with 3 goals in 17 games and we could see him scoring on Friday.

Their last game was on January 4, it resulted in a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Villa Park and that way they got their fourth draw in the tournament. They arrive as the favorites to win this game, because of the great team they have and the good moment they are going through.
