Here are five football tips Will Rook thinks you should consider for Leicester v Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.

Leicester (-1) to win {ODDS:514868195:17/20}

Leicester thumped Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park in the league just a month ago and come into this on the back of three straight victories, two coming by a margin of two or more goals.

Aston Villa have lost six of their last nine, with one of the three victories in that sequence coming against a Liverpool side made up of youth players in the EFL Cup quarter final.

Jamie Vardy to score first {ODDS:519172648:9/5}

Vardy has scored 12 goals in his last 12 appearances in all competitions, including four openers.

He bagged a brace and scored first when Leicester beat Aston Villa 4-1 in the league in December and, according to Brendan Rodgers, is fit to play on Wednesday.

Both teams to score {ODDS:514867114:10/11}

Both teams have scored in seven of Aston Villa’s last 10 matches in all competitions, including both of their last two.

BTTS has landed in three of Leicester’s four EFL Cup matches this season, with their only clean sheet coming in the third round against Championship Luton.

More goals in the second half {ODDS:514867492:1/1}

There have been more goals in the first half in three of Aston Villa’s last four matches.

With both sides unlikely to be going at full throttle in the first leg, this tie could take a little while to heat up.

Over 4.5 cards {ODDS:519910924:8/5}

There were eight bookings when these sides met in the league last month, while three of Aston Villa’s last four matches have had five or more cards.

With over 3.5 priced at {ODDS:519910929:4/5}, it makes sense to go for one extra.
