    Colin: Time to stop talking up Leicester as one of the top sides in the Prem. Decent enough team on their day but nothing more than a top half side.

    It was a big performance from Villa. But Leicester missed chances. We have to mention that Emi Martinez save at 2-1. He's been Villa's best player this season.

    And that's it!

    A massive win for Steven Gerrard's side, that's three from four for the new boss.

    Ollie Watkins is back in his own box to clear and Tyrone Mings follows up with an acrobatic hack away. That must be almost it.

    It's now or never for Leicester. They have a free-kick just inside the Villa half.

    Almost! The keeper is beaten in the air by Tyrone Mings but stays up and then goes down under a challenge from the Villa defender, but the ball runs out for a goal-kick.

    Long way back for Kasper Schmeichel to his own box now.

    Leicester's attacking play just hasn't been precise enough in the second half, but they do have a corner... and Kasper Schmeichel is on his way up!

    Leicester are coming on strong now.

    Gerrard has brought on Tuanzebe and Villa are now playing three at the back. But they can't get out.

    Aston Villa 2-1 Leicester

    Into the 90th minute and James Maddison has a chance to deliver from a free-kick.

    He gifts it straight to Carney Chukwuemeka and then has to hack down the young midfielder to stop him breaking away.

    Kev: Is the Rodgers era coming to an end? He seems to always fall flat after 2 seasons at clubs.

    Dan: 9 points off the relegation zone and three of Leicester's next five league games are against Spurs, Liverpool and City...

    John McGinn thuds into two challenges and then takes on Kasper Schmeichel too, but the whistle went a while ago for at least one foul in there.

    Leicester need defensive re-enforcement, Evans has been a liability for a couple of seasons now. Would love to see them go in for Joe Gomez. Dean Henderson as a Schmeichel replacement would be great business too.

    Villa have almost every player inside their own box. Leicester win corner after corner but can't create anything clear cut at the moment...

    Jacob Ramsey has looked good for Aston Villa today.

    He starts a move that sees John McGinn find Carney Chukwuemeka and the substitute then sprays it right for Matty Cash.

    Cash has a pop, but it drifts wide of the front post.
