Leicester have had seven wins in a row and Brendan Rodgers is the recipient of an extended and improved contract until 2025 after never quite ruling himself out of the vacant Arsenal job until Friday. Demarai Gray comes back into contention for Sunday’s trip to Villa after missing the last two matches with flu and the manager hopes Ben Chilwell will make it after missing the midweek win over Watford with a hip injury. Villa are a point above the relegation zone after their midweek defeat at Chelsea but they have Anwar El Ghazi in contention after a knee injury. “They are on a fantastic run of form but there aren’t many teams who will come away from Villa Park and think they’ve had an easy game,” Dean Smith said.
