Leicester City
After losing their Premier League status two seasons ago, Leicester City quickly regained promotion from the Championship within a year. However, this is not the same Leicester City team we remember from a few years back. Many of the team’s former leaders have left, and their most prominent star is now the 37-year-old Jamie Vardy.
Vardy has already made an impact in this new Premier League campaign. In the first round, he scored an equalizer in a 1-1 home draw against Tottenham Hotspur. However, in the second round, Leicester faced Fulham away and were defeated 1-2. Midweek, Leicester hosted Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Cup, securing a convincing 4-0 victory.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa has been making steady progress in recent seasons, culminating in a spot in the UEFA Champions League at the end of last season. The Birmingham side finished fourth in the Premier League and is now gearing up for Europe’s biggest stage.
However, the summer transfer window brought changes, with key players like Moussa Diaby moving to Al-Ittihad and Douglas Luiz transferring to Juventus. The funds from these sales were reinvested in new signings, including Ian Maatsen, Lewis Dobbin, Enzo Barrenechea, Cameron Archer, and Amadou Onana. The refreshed squad started the season with a 2-1 win over West Ham United but suffered a 0-2 defeat to Arsenal in the last round.
