Leicester City vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 0-1 ASTON VILLA

Leicester have one final chance to find an equaliser in the first half as they win another free-kick which is played into the box by Winks, but Villa clear and preserve their advantage going into the break.

We have a minimum of two more minutes added on at the end of this entertaining first half.

Leicester are ending the half strongly and Martinez is tested again by Skipp, who shoots from the edge of the box only for the Argentina goalkeeper to collect comfortably.

SAVE FROM MARTINEZ! Winks stands behind the ball for the free-kick and dinks it towards the far post where Okoli is present, but the Leicester debutant's awkward effort is denied by Villa custodian Martinez!

Leicester now enjoy a bit of possession in the Villa defence, but Emery's side have men behind the ball and the Foxes have to retreat.

Yellow Card Youri Marion A. Tielemans

Villa continue to operate in the Leicester half as they pile the pressure on the hosts. Can Cooper's side survive the first half without further damage?

Not a good reading for Leicester? Villa have not lost in their last 10 Premier League matches after scoring first. Their last defeat after scoring the opener came against Manchester United on December 26, 2023.

SAVE AGAIN! Ramsey drives forward as Villa break and tries his luck from just outside the box. But his effort is met with a good diving save from Hermansen, who is having a busy afternoon so far between the sticks for Leicester.
