Leeds vs Aston Villa: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Leeds vs Aston Villa in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 14:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Leeds vs Aston Villa

• Date: Sunday, 23 November 2025

• Kick-off: 14:00 GMT

• Venue: Elland Road

Leeds are coming into this match on the back of a tough run, with four losses in their last five games. Their only win was at home against West Ham, which might give them a bit of hope playing at Elland Road again. They'll need to be more solid at the back, having conceded 11 goals in those five matches, and more clinical up top if they're to stand a chance against a Villa side that's been in fine form.

Aston Villa, on the other hand, have been on a roll, winning four out of their last five games, with their only loss coming away at Liverpool. They've shown they can score goals, bagging nine in those five matches, and have been solid defensively too, conceding just four. Villa's confidence will be sky-high, and they'll look to exploit Leeds' recent defensive frailties.

Leeds have had a rough patch lately, losing four out of their last five games, with their only victory coming against West Ham at home. This poor run of form, especially the heavy defeats away at Nottingham Forest and Brighton, will be a concern for the team.

However, playing at home might give them a slight boost, as they managed to secure a win against West Ham in their last home game. Their defensive issues are evident, having conceded 11 goals in their last five matches. If Leeds can shore up their backline and find some of the form they showed against West Ham, they might be able to make this a closer contest than their recent results suggest.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-3 vs Nottingham Forest (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Brighton (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs West Ham (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Burnley (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Tottenham (H)

Aston Villa are in fantastic form, winning four out of their last five games, with their only loss coming against Liverpool away from home. They've been scoring goals for fun, with nine in their last five matches, and have been solid at the back, conceding just four.

This run of form will give them a huge confidence boost going into this match. Their ability to score goals and keep clean sheets will be crucial against a Leeds side that's been struggling defensively. If Villa can maintain their recent level of performance, they should have no trouble securing another victory.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 4-0 vs Bournemouth (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Liverpool (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Manchester City (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Tottenham (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs Burnley (H)

In their recent encounters, Aston Villa have had the upper hand, winning three out of the last five matches against Leeds, with the other two meetings ending in draws. The most recent meeting saw Villa triumph 2-1 at home, while their last visit to Elland Road ended in a goalless draw. This head-to-head record suggests that Villa might have the psychological edge going into this match.

Daniel Farke heads into Sunday’s clash with Aston Villa in upbeat mood after confirming a fully fit squad. No one returned with problems from international duty, and every player is available for selection. Farke says the break has allowed Leeds to get “proper training” into the group and use the extra 48 hours of preparation time to sharpen up for Elland Road.

Despite criticism following back-to-back away defeats, he’s determined to protect his players and keep the mood positive, stressing that Leeds must stay brave, press high and play with courage if they’re to stay above the relegation line in the Premier League.

“No one came back injured. I am in a good mood because we don’t have one player injured, so everyone is available… If we keep going we have a great chance of staying above the line and continuing to play in the Premier League.” – Daniel Farke

• Andrés Garcia (Knock) - Out

• Tyrone Mings (Hamstring) - Out

• Emi Buendia (Foot) - Doubt

• Ezri Konsa (Calf) - Doubt

Unai Emery says Villa are in a strong place injury-wise heading into Sunday, with only Tyrone Mings ruled out. Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash and Amadou Onana are all back in training and should be in contention if they come through the final session, with Onana described as progressing well.

"The only player for Sunday to rule out is Tyrone Mings. Other players will train tomorrow, the last training session, and normally could be available. They [Ezri Konsa, Matty Cash, and Amadou Onana] are training.

"Amadou is progressing well, and tomorrow we'll see how he's progressing." – Unai Emery

• Predicted lineup: Perri (GK), Bogle (DF), Rodon (DF), Bijol (DF), Gudmundsson (DF), Longstaff (MF), Ampadu (MF), Stach (MF), Aaronson (AT), Nmecha (AT), Okafor (AT)

Leeds will look to exploit their attacking options with Nmecha leading the line, but their recent defensive frailties, especially in the back four, could be a concern against a potent Villa attack.

• Predicted lineup: Martinez (GK), Cash (DF), Konsa (DF)(If fit), Torres (DF), Digne (DF), McGinn (MF), Kamara (MF), Onana (MF), Buendia (MF), Rogers (AT), Watkins (AT)

Aston Villa's midfield trio of McGinn, Kamara, and Onana will be key to controlling the game, while their attacking duo of Rogers and Watkins will look to exploit any defensive weaknesses in the Leeds backline.

• Okafor vs Torres: This will be a crucial battle between Leeds' forward Okafor and Aston Villa's defender Torres, with Okafor looking to use his pace and movement to break through Villa's defence.

• Longstaff vs Onana: The midfield duel between Leeds' Longstaff and Aston Villa's Onana will be vital, with Longstaff needing to disrupt Villa's rhythm and Onana aiming to control the game's tempo.

• Nmecha (Leeds): Nmecha's ability to link play and contribute goals will be crucial for Leeds, especially given their recent struggles in front of goal.

• McGinn (Aston Villa): McGinn's energy and creativity in midfield will be key for Aston Villa, as he looks to drive his team forward and create scoring opportunities.

• Leeds vs Aston Villa at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, 23 November 2025, will be broadcast live for viewers in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
