Villa shakes things up

Bottom of the league and facing relegation, Aston Villa have decided to shake things up in the boardroom.

American owner Randy Lerner will take a back seat in the running of the club after hiring local business executive Steve Hollis as chairman.

"As we have witnessed in the Premier League this year with other clubs, money no longer buys success," Hollis said, in a clear reference to today's opponent, Leicester.

"Randy has consistently provided financial backing no less so than last year. Our future success, however, lies in building a winning culture that is underpinned by a commitment to continuous improvement both on and off the pitch."

Elsewhere, Bournemouth and Norwich both hovering above the drop zone play on the south coast when ailing champion Chelsea, which are only a place above them in 14th, host Everton. Third-place Manchester City face Crystal Palace; West Ham travel to Newcastle; and Southampton take on West Bromwich Albion. The Monday night game sees Swansea host Watford.
