Aston Villa have won just two of their last 17 away league games against Leeds (D9 L6), with those victories coming in January and December 2000.
Only Manchester United (17), Liverpool (14) and Newcastle (14) have won more Premier League away games in Yorkshire than Aston Villa (13). However, the Villans have failed to score in their last three top-flight visits to the county since beating Hull 2-0 in April 2010.
All three of Aston Villa’s Premier League games against promoted sides this season have finished 3-0, with the Villans beating Fulham and West Brom and losing to Leeds. Aston Villa are looking to win away against all three promoted teams in a single Premier League season for the first time.
Leeds’ Patrick Bamford has scored five goals in his three starts in all competitions against Aston Villa, including the first Premier League hat-trick of his career in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martínez has a save percentage of 77.4% in the Premier League this season, the highest on record in a single top-flight campaign for the Villans (since 2003-04, min. 10 games). The Argentine has also kept 12 clean sheets this term, with Brad Friedel the last Villa goalkeeper to keep more than 12 in a top-flight season (15 in 2009-10).
