00:00The Foxes three games so far in League and Cup have yielded a win, a draw and a defeat.
00:06So who knows what we'll see today. Without doubt though, Mads Hermansen is the clear choice in goal this season, as he was last.
00:12At the back, there's a Premier League debut for summer signing Caleb Okoli, in place of Yannick Vestergaard.
00:17Oliver Skipp makes his full Premier League debut for the club, joining Harry Winks and Wilfred Ndidi patrolling the centre of the park.
00:23And Jordan Ayew's reward for his stunning mid-week Cup strike is a first Premier League start for the Foxes.
00:28Jamie Vardy will lead the line, of course. He has five goals in 13 games against Villa.
00:33The three players to drop out from the weekend are all on the bench, alongside new signing Bilal El-Khanous.
00:43Aston Villa's Premier League and Champions League schedule has been laid out in front of them in what is an incredibly exciting campaign.
00:48Not one that will faze Emi Martinez, though, of course. He has seen and done plenty in his recent career.
00:54Matty Cash is expected to be out of action for a month after a hamstring injury against Arsenal,
00:58so Lamar Bogard slots into the back line for his Premier League debut.
01:01The midfield includes former Leicester City midfielder and FA Cup final winning goalscorer Uri Tielemans,
01:06who knows this place well, having made nearly 200 appearances for the hosts.
01:10Morgan Rodgers has caught the eye this season already.
01:13Behind Oli Watkins, the main Villa marksman, who has gone seven league games without a goal,
01:18his longest Barons spell since August to October of 2022.
01:23And there are plenty of attacking options in reserve for Unai Emery, should they be needed.
01:29Uri Tielemans standing with Oli Watkins ready to get us going, and we're up and away.
01:34There will be palpable relief in both camps that the transfer window is closed,
01:38so now the focus can be firmly on the action.
01:41Both clubs enticed players in and waved goodbye to others.
01:45Time will tell whether they made the right calls and how the new faces influence the season ahead.
01:52Skip indeed in Wicks, there's a lot of experience.
01:56Tielemans through for Watkins, who skips away!
01:59And Hermansen had to come out to swoop at his feet.
02:03And he may have hurt himself in the process.
02:06That's how...
02:08...Linier...
02:09...just managed to win it back all too easily.
02:12Oli Watkins now.
02:14Onana.
02:16McGinn.
02:18Just wouldn't quite sit down enough for him.
02:23Pass.
02:25A gift for Rodgers.
02:27And in skips Oli Watkins!
02:30And that's a fabulous save to deny him.
02:33Mads Hermansen right there when Leicester City needed him.
02:39Oh, Hermansen.
02:40And did he catch Oli Watkins there?
02:42That's what Aston Villa was saying.
02:45A problem all of Leicester City's own making.
02:49I'll tell you what, that'll certainly be looked at.
02:52And he doesn't touch the ball, Hermansen.
02:54He certainly doesn't touch the ball.
02:55It's how much of Oli Watkins does he get.
02:58I think he goes through Watkins first.
03:03And I agree with that.
03:05Why the referee and the VAR don't decide to give it.
03:09I think Oli Watkins almost goes into Hermansen rather than the other way round.
03:14Most forward in Clariton Blue.
03:16Oli Watkins.
03:17Very deep, looking to charge in perhaps.
03:20Here he goes.
03:21Tielemans.
03:22Taken on.
03:23And Onana scores!
03:27Really well worked free kick from Aston Villa.
03:30And Leicester City had no answer to it.
03:39Mamadou Onana who scored on his Villa debut at West Ham
03:43bags another one at Leicester.
03:46I'll tell you what, this is brilliant.
03:49Quickly.
03:50That passing into the box.
03:52Onana, it's a good finish, making sure it's the right place at the right time.
03:56But it's...
03:57Potawu there.
03:58He doesn't react quickly enough for me.
04:00When he's got the two players running towards him,
04:02he doesn't know what to do.
04:03And obviously that is the idea of that free kick.
04:05To create chaos in the box.
04:07And that is brilliant by Aston Villa and the set-piece coaches.
04:09And Unai Emery should take a big bow for that.
04:17Well, he's absolutely delighted.
04:19Yeah, he was.
04:20But again, that's what I'm saying from Leicester.
04:22They've got to play a few more passes.
04:24Keep possession for a little bit longer.
04:26Ramsey.
04:27Takes it on.
04:30And Helmondson had to see it behind.
04:36And it goes from Winks.
04:37Sokoli's in there.
04:39And Martinez had to claw it away.
04:43Vardy now.
04:46Checking his options and his offside status.
04:50Skip.
04:51Told to shoot.
04:53And he obliged, but with Martinez...
04:55Didn't look too comfortable again.
04:57Rolling around on the floor.
04:59Sokoli fancies it!
05:02Well, it was well worth a go.
05:06There's a fantastic energy in this crowd
05:08from both sets of supporters.
05:10So frantic.
05:12Oliver Skip.
05:13Through he goes for Jamie Vardy.
05:15It's not going to count.
05:17It's not going to count.
05:18The whistle had gone.
05:22David Coote says he had blown the whistle.
05:25I think it might be because the ball struck him
05:28as it was played through.
05:32Let's have a look.
05:35It does.
05:37And I can't why.
05:41McGinn.
05:43Towards Duran.
05:46Now Tielemans keeps it moving.
05:49Nicely played by Dini and Ramsey.
05:52John Duran is in there!
05:56What an impact!
06:00Bouncing off the bench to score almost straight away.
06:07And Aston Villa have the second goal they craved.
06:10Comes out.
06:12And Duran's in the right place at the right time, by the way.
06:15In between the centre-halves where he starts.
06:17And then look at his movement.
06:19Making it really difficult.
06:20Comes off.
06:21And I tell you what.
06:22I can't tell you how difficult this header is.
06:24There's not a lot of pace on this ball.
06:26So he's got to generate the pace.
06:28Move the direction all while being under pressure
06:31from the defender.
06:32That is brilliant.
06:34And he makes his impact.
06:36Two minutes exactly.
06:39After entering the field of play.
06:45Unai Emery will be delighted.
06:54Christensen.
06:57Mavadidi looking to get in full flight here.
07:01Tiptoeing his way through.
07:03Nicely done.
07:04And Didi's up there.
07:05And Buonanotte!
07:12Leicester City needed that.
07:16And maybe that's a route back into the game
07:19from the Brighton loanee.
07:23And will it spark a fight back?
07:26Well, this is what I'm talking about.
07:28Get yourself high and wide.
07:29Mavadidi, fantastic work in that wide area.
07:32To beat Bogart and then put a good ball into the box.
07:35I think it's Didi, isn't it,
07:36that's fighting to make sure that he gets a touch on that.
07:39And because there's numbers in the box,
07:41because there's midfielders joining,
07:43who's there?
07:44That man I said had to be starting this game,
07:46Buonanotte.
07:47Wonderful strike.
07:48Keeps his hip and his knee over it.
07:50Makes sure he just hits it hard and low.
07:53It's been a busy old afternoon for David Coutts.
07:57Oh, and there goes Mavadidi.
07:58The challenge from Tinaman.
08:00This will be very interesting to see what happens.
08:04David Coutts' initial decision is,
08:06it's a throw-in.
08:09And the video assistant referee
08:11has looked at the incident
08:12and confirms the on-field decision.
08:14Ball is taken.
08:15Well, it was confirmed very quickly
08:17and that's why, because you can see
08:19Uri Tielemans gets a big foot on the ball.
08:23It's a very, very well-timed challenge.
08:25Now it's offside.
08:27David Coutts initially pointed to the spot,
08:30but the offside flag was raised against Jamie Vardy.
08:33I'll tell you what,
08:34this game has had a little bit of everything.
08:36It's a wonderful little reverse ball.
08:39Vardy starts his run
08:41slightly too quickly.
08:45It's a very, very well-timed challenge.
08:48It's a very, very well-timed challenge.
08:52It's a very, very well-timed challenge.
08:55Right though, Konza gets nothing of that ball.
08:59That's it.
09:00Two wins from three
09:02at the start of the season for Aston Villa.
09:05Both victories coming on their travels
09:06and both thanks in part to goals
09:08from their big summer signing,
09:09Amadou Anana
09:10and John Duran from the bench.
09:13Leicester City's winless start to the campaign continues,
09:16having been undone by a set play in the first half
09:18and a fine header in the second.
09:21Facundo Buonanotte pulled one back,
09:23which proved to be a mere consolation.
09:26A competitive and at times spiky encounter
09:29goes the way of Aston Villa.
09:32Leicester City 1, Aston Villa 2.
