Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back from their cup disappointments when they return to Premier League action against Leeds United at Villa Park on Friday.
Villa showed signs of improvement under new boss Unai Emery as they moved to within three points of 10th placed Chelsea in the Premier League, but recently slipped up against League Two side Stevenage in the FA Cup third round and faced a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United in the Spaniard's first game in charge of The Lions.
Meanwhile, Leeds forced an FA Cup third-round replay after a 2-2 draw against Cardiff City preceded by back-to-back draws against Newcastle United (0-0) and West Ham (2-2) in the Premier League.
