"And Bailey will be keen to make an impression, having returned to Villa Park in January following a short, fruitless loan spell with Roma, should he get the chance to start against Leeds. His first start since returning was cut short as he was withdrawn for Emiliano Martinez after goalkeeper Marco Bizot was sent off in the first half in Villa's 3-1 home FA Cup defeat to Newcastle United."
"Bailey has appeared off the bench four times in the Premier League since his return from Roma, with his corner creating the opening for Jack Hinshelwood's late own goal in a 1-0 win over Brighton last time out. Leeds will head to Villa Park full of confidence, however, given they claimed an impressive 2-2 comeback draw away to Chelsea in their last league outing."
Leon Bailey returned to Aston Villa in January after a short, unproductive loan at Roma and says Unai Emery and the staff have helped him learn and regain confidence. He has featured off the bench four times in the Premier League since his return, and a corner of his created Jack Hinshelwood’s late own goal in a 1-0 win over Brighton. His only start back was cut short in Villa’s 3-1 FA Cup defeat to Newcastle after goalkeeper Marco Bizot’s red card. Villa aim to close the gap on leaders Arsenal when they host Leeds.
