Marking their return from November’s international break this weekend, Aston Villa will travel to Elland Road when they meet Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
Heading into the fortnight interval in the midst of a real purple patch, Unai Emery’s men find just their goal difference keeping them outside the Champions League spots and they should be smelling a golden opportunity here.
While Leeds might have only made their Premier League return this season, the Lilywhites appear destined to have a real battle on their hands in the race to maintain their top-flight status this time around.
Two camps who are expected to be scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Premier League table this season, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing Leeds vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips.
Villa looking to carry on from where they left off
While Aston Villa might have endured a stuttering start to proceedings back in August, Sunday’s guests have come roaring back in a stellar fashion and they have skyrocketed their way up the Premier League standings.
Last seen heading into November’s international break with a season-best performance as they stormed their way to a 4-0 romp at home against Bournemouth, Emery will be dreaming of a repeat display here.
Signing off October with a stunning 1-0 victory against Manchester City, the one-time Arsenal boss has seen his squad win five of their previous six Premier League appearances.
Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway sat just one-point adrift of finding a route into the Champions League spots, Aston Villa should be smelling a golden opportunity when they travel to Yorkshire.
It should also be highlighted, including a thumping 3-0 win when they travelled to Elland Road back in March 2022, Villa have registered seven points from their previous three Premier League trips to Leeds.

Pressure mounts on Farke
Although Leeds might have signed off October with a much-welcomed 2-1 victory against fellow strugglers West Ham, it appears that was just a minor boost for Daniel Farke’s downbeat squad.
Despite only making their Premier League return this season, Sunday’s guests appear destined to be at the heart of a top-flight relegation scrap this time around.
Heading into November’s fortnight interval with a collapse at the City Ground as they eventually fell to a 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest, Leeds have lost four of their previous five Premier League appearances.
Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny earlier in the month as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Brighton, it has also been suggested that the former Norwich boss has some serious pressure mounting.
Marking their return on Sunday afternoon holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, Leeds have also failed to record a single clean sheet since the end of August.

Keep an eye out for Malen
While Donyell Malen might have initially struggled to find his feet after arriving from German giants Borussia Dortmund back in January, the 26-year-old has enjoyed a real resurge in the Midlands.
Bagging a 13th international cap during Holland’s 4-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Lithuania earlier in the week, the 26-year-old has suddenly become a key part of Emery’s squad.
Recording a third Premier League strike of the season prior to November’s fortnight interval as Villa stormed their way to that 4-0 romp against Bournemouth, Malen has also found the net in three of his last four outings for club and country.
Enjoying what has become his most fruitful spell since arriving at Villa Park, the 49-cap Netherlands international will be looking to steal all of the headlines here.
Meeting a Leeds defence who have failed to register a single clean sheet over the past couple of months, Malen should be excited by a trip to Yorkshire this weekend.
