Leicester City will host Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a Premier League showdown.
The Lions will make the short journey across the Midlands, aiming to bounce back from last weekend's loss to Arsenal.
Unai Emery's side finds itself comfortably positioned in midtable with three points from their first two matches, thanks to an opening-day win away at West Ham. They also benefit from not having been involved in a midweek EFL Cup tie.
The Foxes secured their first victory of the season in midweek, advancing to the third round of the EFL Cup with a 4-0 win over League Two side Tranmere.
After clinching the Championship title last season and returning to the Premier League, Leicester have managed just one point from their first two league games. They earned that point in a tough 1-1 draw against Tottenham on the opening weekend. However, the Foxes suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend.
