Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Aston Villa

Villa are organised and tough to break down, and they tend to earn results at Villa Park by controlling the middle of the pitch.

Away

Leeds United

Leeds are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession on the road at Villa Park, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Villa field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Leeds score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
