Live action, analysis, and reaction from the King Power Stadium as Leicester City begin life after Brendan Rodgers in a significant match in their battle ...

BirminghamLive brings you the latest Aston Villa news as pundits make their predictions for tonight's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

[PaddyPower:](https://news.paddypower.com/football/2023/04/04/premier-league-predictions-football-tips-chelsea-liverpool-manchester-newcastle-united-today-tuesday-wednesday-best-bets/) Villa are in good form, Leicester could get a bit of a bounce back from changing the manager. Villa are still doing very well under Unai Emery, especially away from home, and they will have enough nous to open them up." I covered their game on Saturday and Palace, who were the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League, had 20 shots against them in the first half. "Crystal Palace were better than the Foxes on Saturday but would Brendan Rodgers have been sacked if Palace had not scored a last-minute winner? They face a Leicester side who slipped into the bottom three after being defeated by Crystal Palace on Saturday. Unai Emery's side travel to the King Power in search of their sixth win in five games, and back-to-back league victories on the road having beaten Chelsea 2-0 last time out.

Tottenham-linked Brendan Rodgers will "reflect and recharge" before taking on the next opportunity after being sacked by Leicester City.

I would like to wish everybody at the club the very best of luck as they seek to continue to deliver on this objective. Everything we achieved was with the superb support of the Leicester City fans and I thank them for that. I’m now looking forward to having a chance to reflect and recharge and get ready for the next opportunity." WHAT THEY SAID: In a statement released on Tuesday, Rogers said: “I would like to thank the Leicester City Chairman Mr Srivaddhanaprabha and all of the board for giving me the opportunity to manage Leicester City and make history with this great football club over the past four years. However, Rodgers thanked the fans, players, management and staff in a heartfelt farewell note while also expressing his pride over leading the Foxes to their first-ever FA Cup triumph. We forged a special relationship and I will always have the utmost respect and affection for them.

It is thought the next results, starting with Tuesday's home game against Aston Villa, are likely to have a significant impact on the speed at which Leicester progress their search for a new boss.

'We forged a special relationship and I will always have the utmost respect and affection for them. Brendan Rodgers insists he would have been able to keep Leicester in the Premier League

We're live in Leicester as Aston Villa look to make it five wins from six with European qualification the aim from now until the end of the season.

After firing Brendan Rodgers as they slipped into the Premier League relegation zone, this Leicester City vs Aston Villa clash is a huge one for the Foxes.

Emery has them set up to defend as a unit and then spring counters with Ollie Watkins in phenomenal form as he set a club record for scoring in five-straight Premier League away games. Leicester were dominated at Crystal Palace at the weekend as they allowed 31 shots and the nature of their narrow defeat called time on Brendan Rodgers’ four years in charge. It has been all Villa since the goal but Harvey Barnes with a superb solo effort to make it 1-1. Leicester down to 10 men for the final 20 minutes. HALF TIME: Leicester 1-1 Aston Villa – The hosts will be very happy with that first 45 minutes. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been shown a second yellow card for a foul on Ashley Young and the Leicester academy product has been sent off. The win moves Villa on to 44 points for the season as they’ve won five of their last six and are pushing for European qualification. FULL TIME: Leicester 1-2 Aston Villa – What a dramatic end to this feisty Midlands derby as Villa go wild at the final whistle. Unai Emery with a grimace on the sidelines. Watkins was fouled first by Daka as Leicester tried to scramble the ball home. Looked like Daka fouled Watkins first before he got to the ball. Since arriving in November with Villa in a relegation scrap, Emery has built a solid base and there is now so much confidence in this team.

Managerless Leicester City's relegation worries deepen as in-form Aston Villa secure a dramatic late win at King Power Stadium.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Leicester remain in the relegation zone after an error-strew defeat against an Aston Villa side rejuvenated by ...

Leicester should have taken the lead in the 19th minute. The winger controlled Faes long ball brilliantly on the run, held off Ashley Young and guided his angled effort in off Emi Martinez’s left post. This was Vardy’s first league start since January and there is a reason the 36-year-old has scored only once in the Premier League this term. Not even the officials could give them a lifeline. Douglas Luiz found Emi Buendia in too much space in the middle and when he released Watkins, the in-form forward held off Wout Faes and Timothy Castagne before guiding the ball into the corner just before he lost his balance. Leicester thought Buendia had handled in the build-up but referee Graham Scott did not agree. This result was not the fault of caretaker-bosses Adam Sadler and Mike Stowell, placed in temporary charge after Rodgers was sacked last Sunday. Leicester must wonder what life would have been like had they copied Aston Villa last autumn. Srivaddhanaprabha may come to reflect that he acted too late in removing Brendan Rodgers and realise that he cannot be similarly indecisive again. Sadler was breezy and positive after the match, saying all the right things, including about Rodgers. No more crossing fingers and hoping for the best. ‘It has been difficult for us all.

Match report and free match highlights as Ollie Watkins scores his sixth goal in six successive away games to put Aston Villa ahead; Harvey Barnes superb ...

It was a slightly loose pass that got away and it was a fantastic finish. We scored a fantastic goal. Today was a very good example and we did it." With the extra player advantage, Aston Villa probed for a winner - which finally arrived in the 87th minute. There was a glimmer of hope for a late Leicester equaliser too as they were awarded a penalty in a frantic final few minutes. However, the match turned on its head with 20 minutes to play as Leicester went down to 10 players. It was a sublime ball over the top from Wout Faes that picked out Barnes' run down the left. It was a sumptuous pass from Emiliano Buendia for Watkins - the former also making his 100th appearance for the club - who easily ran in behind the Leicester centre-backs. James Maddison's deep corner found a completely unmarked Harry Souttar towards the back post, but his free header hit the woodwork before going out of play. The result sees Leicester slip into 19th place, two points from safety with nine Premier League games to play. Leicester reacted well to going behind too with some individual brilliance from Harvey Barnes seeing the Foxes level. Leicester thought they had won a penalty in injury time too as Ollie Watkins was penalised for handball.

Following Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, Leicester sit 19th in the Premier League and face a massive fight to stay in the top flight. [sacked Brendan Rodgers](https://www.goal.com/en/news/brendan-rodgers-sacked-leicester-lose-patience-manager-crystal-palace-defeat-heightens-relegation-fears/blt13f6fe27e78c9498) this week, ending his four-year stay in charge of the Foxes. Leicester are also looking at several managers that come from the Red Bull system, with Marsch named alongside Oscar Garcia and Ralph Hasenhuttl as candidates.

Bertrand Traore's late goal ensured the first game after Brendan Rodgers' sacking ended in defeat.

“It’s Mike Stowell and me, it’s a partnership, we have tried to pull the guys together over the last couple of days. We are now with them. “We have to add a new target in the next matches because we can be candidates, we are going to be very demanding and don’t relax or don’t stop.” “That’s all we could do. “Chelsea and Liverpool have to be in Europe next year, they will fight for it, but we can have ambition and motivation to try to be a candidate. “Until we hear different Mike and I will continue to give everything for the football club, we have been here a long time, we know the people inside out, they know us so if it continues to be us we will give everything for the football club.”

Ollie Watkins opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half, but the Foxes equalised through a Harvey Barnes stunner. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall saw red ...

We got nothing from the match and we have to start finding a way to pick up points. With the match looking as though it was going to end in a nail-biting draw, the Luck of the East Midlands struck again. Substitute Bertrand Traore was on it in a flash and hit a first-time curler from outside the box that no keeper on this planet could have saved. City fought like their lives depended on it and had a late penalty appeal, but it was turned down after a look at the monitor (and, if I’m being honest, probably rightly so). We remain on 25 points from 29 matches, which puts us 19th on the table and two points from safety. He never got the opportunity as KDH picked up a second yellow on 72’, reducing the Foxes to 10 men for the last quarter hour of the match. Castagne picked up a yellow on 55’ and Dewsbury-Hall followed him into the book 64’. His shot may have been curling inside the far post, but Tyrone Mings got a head to it and deflected it towards the centre of the net. It took forever to dribble across the line, but it just did, giving the visitors the lead with their first shot of the match. Both Faes and Souttar closed him down and Iversen made himself big, but the striker just managed to poke it towards goal. Ollie Watkins opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half, but the Foxes equalised through a Harvey Barnes stunner. Villa had the majority of the possession, but they were doing nothing at all with it.
