Jamie Carragher drops Leeds United vs Aston Villa prediction
Jamie Carragher has made a brutal prediction for Leeds United’s home clash with Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Peacocks sit just one point above the relegation zone, and their performances don’t reflect their points total of 11 this season.
Daniel Farke is currently at odds over Leeds‘ season so far, as the team continues to create gilt-edged chances, but are failing to put them in the back of the net.
Aston Villa are flying under Unai Emery after a tricky start to the season, winning five of their last six Premier League matches.
Villa are expected to beat Leeds, and unfortunately for the fans, Carragher has also made a prediction that they won’t be happy with.
Jamie Carragher predicts Villa to beat Leeds on Sunday
Farke is under increasing scrutiny at Leeds as the team is hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the top flight.
Leeds’ 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest highlighted the issues in the final third, while also exposing the poor goals they are currently conceding.
Making his prediction for Super 6, Carragher believes Aston Villa will continue their fine form under Emery and record a 2-1 win at Elland Road.
| Stat | Leeds |
| Wins | 3 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Losses | 6 |
| Points | 11 |
| Premier League position | 16th |
Leeds have been incredibly wasteful in front of goal, with Joe Rodon and Noah Okafor topping the goalscoring charts with two strikes each.
Lukas Nmecha has shown signs of promise, and he could be the answer to their goalscoring woes, meaning he’ll need to be ready for the busy schedule that lies ahead.
Elland Road will need to be a fortress this season, and Leeds must make the most of their matches in LS11 if they are to avoid relegation straight back down to the Championship.
Villa have finished in the top six in the last two seasons, and they face Leeds in a string of matches that are incredibly tough on paper for the Peacocks.
Leeds face brutal run of fixtures in December
Leeds are expected to be relegated, and the run of games across the festive period is hardly kind to Farke’s side.
After Aston Villa’s visit on Sunday, Leeds go to Man City on 29 November, which is followed by a month of games against Chelsea, Liverpool, and Sunderland.
The year kicks off with a trip to Anfield, and the Villa match represents one of the best opportunities Leeds will get to win a match in the final five weeks of 2025.
The Peacocks can always count on Elland Road to drag them through tough games, and the next month will be a huge indication of how strong their survival credentials are.
