Aston Villa vs Leeds United live score, updates, highlights and line-ups from the pre-season friendly in Australia
Aston Villa and Leeds United will continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly clash in Brisbane, Australia on Sunday.
Both teams failed to impress in the Premier League last season, with Villa finishing 14th and Leeds only avoiding relegation by three points as they held 17th.
Both clubs have been busy in the off-season signing new players and will be desperate to ensure they can get going once the competition begins in August.
Leeds come into this game having played a midweek game in Australia against Brisbane Roar as part of the Queensland Champions Cup.
Jesse Marsch’s side won that game 2-1 and would wrap up the pre-season title with victory against Villa today.
