ON THIS DAY
*Villa boss Dean Smith*
“We haven’t got any centre forwards, it’s as simple as that. Jonathan Kodjia came off the training pitch ill yesterday. Hopefully we can be as good as Manchester City last night. We’ve got no choice! We don’t have any centre forwards. That’s where we are.”
*Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers*
“Aston Villa have no striker, that’s unfortunate for Dean but they have players who can play there, they have a good team and we’ll have to be at our best to get a result.
Former Villa winger Marc Albrighton came on as a 79’ substitute for Leicester.

TEAM NEWS
Frédéric Guilbert, Ezri Konsa, Kortney Hause and Tyrone Mings were reinstated in the starting XI after being rested for the FA Cup 3rd Round tie with only Ørjan Nyland, Neil Taylor, Marvelous Nakamba and Anwar El Ghazi retaining their places.
Douglas Luiz, Jack Grealish and Trézéguet returned as Villa lined up with 3 at the back once again but now with no centre forward as Jonathan Kodjia was ruled out due to illness.
Indiana Vassilev was once again named on the substitutes bench after his weekend debut but new loan signing Danny Drinkwater was cup tied.
