ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 8 January 2020
Villa boss Dean Smith: “We haven’t got any centre forwards, it’s as simple as that. Jonathan Kodjia came off the training pitch ill yesterday. Hopefully we can be as good as Manchester City last night. We’ve got no choice! We don’t have any centre forwards. That’s where we are.”
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: “Aston Villa have no striker, that’s unfortunate for Dean but they have players who can play there, they have a good team and we’ll have to be at our best to get a result."
Villa battle to a creditable draw in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi final.
Jack Grealish makes his 120th start in a Villa shirt (167 Appearances) to make it W66 D34 L67, 23 Goals, 26 Assists, 26 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
Ørjan Nyland concedes his 40th goal in a Villa shirt on his 28th appearance (26 Starts) to make it W10 D10 L8, 40 Goals Conceded and 7 Clean Sheets so far in his Villa career.
Trézéguet makes his 15th start in a Villa shirt (23 Appearances) to make it W8 D3 L12, 3 Goals, 2 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Former Villa winger Marc Albrighton came on as a 79’ substitute for Leicester.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Frédéric Guilbert, Ezri Konsa, Kortney Hause and Tyrone Mings were reinstated in the starting XI after being rested for the FA Cup 3rd Round tie with only Ørjan Nyland, Neil Taylor, Marvelous Nakamba and Anwar El Ghazi retaining their places.
Douglas Luiz, Jack Grealish and Trézéguet returned as Villa lined up with 3 at the back once again but now with no centre forward as Jonathan Kodjia was ruled out due to illness.
Indiana Vassilev was once again named on the substitutes bench after his weekend debut but new loan signing Danny Drinkwater was cup tied.
