Patrick Bamford could solve Leeds United's finishing woes against Aston Villa

It proved to be yet another a frustrating afternoon for Leeds United after they were beaten by Leicester City on Saturday. The Whites dominated for large spells but were unable to take their chances as Jesse Marsch's first game in charge ended in defeat.

Harvey Barnes' second-half strike condemned the Whites to a sixth loss in seven matches which leaves them in 16th, just two points above the relegation zone. The result was a disappointing one, but it was a performance to be pleased about for the travelling Leeds faithful.

Marsch set up in a more defensively structured 4-2-3-1 formation and limited Leicester to just seven shots as the Foxes struggled to create many opportunities at all. Luke Ayling martialled the threat of Jamie Vardy, while Robin Koch and Mateusz Klich provided a shield to the back-four.
