Aston Villa boss Smith: Best English talent showcased against Leicester

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith is looking forward to their clash with Leicester City.

Smith believes Sunday's home Premier League game against Leicester will showcase some of England's best talent.

"There will be duels certainly, with Tyrone and Konsa I would have thought against Vardy and Maddison," Smith said.

"We've got quite a British base among our players anyway and they've got some very good English players as well, so it makes for a really interesting game.

"We had a really tight game at the King Power (in October), which we managed to win in the last minute and there's certainly going to be some really good duels to look out for."
