Fofana has the sun in his eyes and gets his header all wrong, with Watkins winning the ball. The Argentinian goalkeeper just recovered in time. City are on top at the moment. He runs down an alley but in the process of turning back, Young goes through him. City need to be careful. It's easy for Martinez. Those two injury-time goals at Newcastle and Everton mean seventh is now very likely to be out of reach. Two changes for the visitors, with Young and Bailey in for Digne and Ings. Who will triumph at the King Power Stadium? Follow our blog below for updates throughout the afternoon. Fofana is too keen to get back at him and allows him to get into the box, cutting the ball back for Bailey. He should score, but blazes over. Mings is the man that Fofana is supposed to be man-marking, but at the end of the first half, the Villa centre-back jumped above him, and just now, Fofana lost him completely, with Mings unable to get a clean contact on the header. Big cheers and a big round of applause as Vardy gets in his first warm-up of the afternoon.

Football Insider has been told by Gabby Agbonlahor that Aston Villa may name a shock starting XI against Leicester City after a triple blow.

“Players have seven games now to prove that they should be part of the set-up next season. Gerrard won’t want to have players around in pre-season who shouldn’t be in the squad.” Aston Villa have dropped to 15th in the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

BirminghamLive brings you the latest Aston Villa news as supporters react to Dean Smith's comments on his sacking back in November.

Some of my happiest memories as a Villa fan from the past 20 years of general misery. Pivotal. Instrumental. Inspirational. In the record books for the winning streak and promotion. "I used to smile every day driving into work and seeing the Villa badge, and they were my boyhood club. @td_nightingale: Dean's legacy at #AVFC will speak for itself for years and years to come. "But I know the Premier League, it’s tough and the expectation suddenly rose. Speaking to the Telegraph about leaving his boyhood club, Smith said: "We’d lost at Southampton and I got a text on Sunday morning asking me to come to the training ground.

BirminghamLive brings you Aston Villa's player ratings from their 0-0 draw with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Had a decent chance which he fired straight at Schmeichel, and repeated that just after the break with the City captain standing firm at his front post. In for just his second start since November and missed a glaring chance on seven minutes, skying well over from six yards out after a good pick-out by Watkins. Bailey's rustiness continued here with a series of under-hit and off-target passes, while Gerrard turned away in disgust at a silly foul he conceded which allowed Maddison a free pop at Villa's goal from 25 yards. Douglas got sucked into Leicester's games in the second 45 and was in danger of being carded for a second time. Near non-existent in the first half but produced a purposeful run from deep just after the break. Did OK in the base of Villa's midfield, liked his work, rarely gave the ball away and took up decent positions to mop up danger. Benefited from a vote of confidence from the boss and started once again here, winning a crucial header just moments in.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: Leicester were boosted by the return of Jamie Vardy after 10 matches out but he was not able to inspire Brendan ...

With Villa sitting deep and the Foxes lacking purpose in their approach work, there was little to entertain the crowd before the break. Then Villa fans sent a clear message to boss Gerrard by calling for Buendia to be introduced. In first-half stoppage time, James Maddison put a 25-yard free-kick just wide and Justin produced a fine recovery challenge to stop Philippe Coutinho testing Kasper Schmeichel from Bailey's cross. With the goal at his mercy, the Jamaican blasted over. Ollie Watkins did well in attack for Villa and the centre-back pairing of Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings were excellent – welcome news for Gerrard after his team's last game ended in a 4-0 home defeat by Tottenham. Not even the return of Jamie Vardy as a second-half substitute, for his first appearance since March 5 and only his third of an injury-hit 2022, could bring the game to life.

There were a couple of nervy moments in the City area, but Schmeichel had only one fairly routine save to make in the opening quarter-hour of the second half. The draw gives us 42 points from 32 matches and places us 10th on the table which is a pretty fair reflection of our play this season. There was time for it, but not the quality, and so it ended 0-0. A little accuracy with the final ball would have put the match well beyond doubt, but it was still a lot of fun to watch. One key absence in Jonny Evans, who was being rested, and one welcome returnee in the person of Jamie Vardy on the bench today. Jamie Vardy came on as a substitute but didn’t have a touch in the Villa area.
