Leicester will look to bounce back from bad shape by hosting Aston Villa in Monday night football.
The Foxes are winless in four in the elite and risk letting their first four slip into their hands.
They face a Villa team that is still in shock from their final defeat at the Carabao Cup in Manchester City last weekend.
The villas also need points and enter this second match from the bottom.
