Aston Villa have had one shot at goal, Leicester two. Like two kids who have been well brought up, these sides are sharing.

Game is starting to open up now and Villa's defence stand off Marc Albrighton while he goes for a run but his effort from 25 yards out is blocked.

Villa break but a poor ball into the box ends that move.

Oh, Villa keeper Mark Bunn gets lucky here. He comes flying out of his area and wipes out Jamie Vardy 25 yards out. 

Vardy was going wide which is the only reason Bunn was booked instead of sent off.

Bunn easily holds Marc Albrighton's free-kick.

"There is absolutely no width to Villa's play. Their full-backs don't even push up. No wonder they've struggled to score goals this season.

"I'm slightly reticent to say it, but Leicester look supremely confident, even if they haven't caught fire yet. 

"You feel as if Villa are sitting there, waiting for Leicester to kick-start and come at them."

Leicester forward Shinji Okazaki is limping after taking a whack but he's OK to continue.

And seconds later the Foxes have the first shot of the game as Jamie Vardy heads a free-kick wide. It was a difficult opportunity, there were a lot of players around him.

Villa play it short and it eventually ends up with Libor Kozak, who tries to chest it down to Ashley Westwood but the Englishman did not read the Czech's intentions - that was whatever the opposite of telepathic play is.

Riyad Mahrez tries an ambitious cross-field pass to fellow Leicester winger Marc Albrighton, who isn't quick enough to keep it in play. An action-free start at Villa Park.

Villa have scored just once in the opening 30 minutes of Premier League games this season - a league low proportion.

They've not had any attacks yet here.

"It looks to me that Villa have decided to play a high defensive line here. Mistakenly, if that's so, because already Vardy has nearly found himself in on goal.

"Leicester look sharp early on, snapping into challenges, quick to press and closing Villa down."

A Villa player is caught dawdling and Jamie Vardy - goalless in five games - flies away down the left wing but his cross is well over everyone.

I thought Charlie Adam's quotes (see 17:19) were interesting, when he said "Villa and Newcastle, you know if you keep them quiet for the first 15 minutes - the fans will be on their back and then you're on the ascendancy".

Will their fans be a help or a hindrance today?

It's bottom v third, as Aston Villa get us under way.

"I think Leicester made a big statement beating Tottenham the last time out. You would fancy them to beat Villa."

"Marc Albrighton was always thought of at Villa as a really good young player. But he lost his way, and getting him to Leicester was a really astute piece of business. 

"He's upped his game this season and is playing differently, getting wide and playing balls in. He's a top player and he will carry on improving."
