Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 11 Premier League away games against Leeds (W4 D6), going down 3-1 in May 2003 under Graham Taylor. Leeds have failed to score in each of their last three home league games against Aston Villa – they’ve never gone four without a goal at Elland Road against an opponent, while only at Everton (a current run of five) have Aston Villa kept more consecutive clean sheets. Each of Leeds’ last seven Premier League wins have been against sides starting the day in 13th place or lower in the table. They’ve won none of their last 17 against sides in the top half (D6 L11) since a 2-1 win at Liverpool (8th) in October 2022. Aston Villa are unbeaten in all 17 of their Premier League games against promoted sides under Unai Emery (W13 D4), with their last defeat coming in Steven Gerrard’s final game in charge in October 2022 (0-3 vs Fulham). Aston Villa (20% - scored 3/15) and Leeds United (22. 7% - 5/22) are the two lowest ranked sides for big chance conversion in the Premier League so far this season. Indeed, only bottom side Wolves (6. 7%) have a lower shot conversion rate overall than Leeds (7. 6%). Aston Villa have scored more goals from outside the box than any other side in the Premier League this season, netting more from distance (7) than they have from inside the area (6). It’s already as many goals as they scored from outside the area than they managed in the whole of last season. Leeds have scored a league-high share 80% of their Premier League goals in the first half of games this season (8/10). Each of their last three strikes have come in the opening 15 minutes of games, with no side netting more in this time period overall than the Whites this term (3). Emiliano Buendía has been involved in five goals in his last five Premier League appearances for Aston Villa (3 goals, 2 assists), averaging a goal involvement every 39 minutes in these games. It’s as many goal involvements as he’d recorded in his previous 37 league appearances. Only Erling Haaland (11) has won more attacking first contacts at corners in the Premier League this season than Leeds defender Joe Rodon (10). Copyright © 2025 BBC.
