Leeds vs. Aston Villa: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Leeds United welcomed Aston Villa to Elland Road in the first of a Premier League double-header on Sunday afternoon, and it was the Villans who emerged victorious.

Lukas Nmecha handed the hosts an early lead after an Emi Martinez blunder, but a second-half brace from Morgan Rogers sealed the three points for the Villans.

Aston Villa moved into fourth in the Premier League as a result of their win, while Leeds United dropped into the relegation zone in 18th place.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 107

Leeds United wins: 32

Draws: 32

Aston Villa wins: 43

Both former English champions and big-hitters on the European stage, Leeds United and Aston Villa have met 107 times down the years, first crossing paths in a 1923-24 FA Cup tie which the Lions won 3-0.

That victory marked the first of 43 successes for the West Midlands outfit in this fixture, slightly more than the 32 that the Whites have managed, with an identical number of contests ending in a share of the spoils.

Meetings in the 21st century have not always been commonplace due to the regular disparity in divisions, but Villa have had Leeds' number more often than not in the current decade, going unbeaten in their last six against the Yorkshire outfit.

Leeds have not conquered the Villans since a 3-0 win behind closed doors at Villa Park in October 2020, when Patrick Bamford struck a sensational hat-trick, but the Whites have since lost four and drawn two against the Midlands side.

In their most recent meeting in November 2025, Leeds United initially took a 1-0 lead before a Rogers double handed Aston Villa a comeback 2-1 victory.

Prior to Leeds' last relegation in the 2022-23 season, Villa triumphed 2-1 on home soil courtesy of Leon Bailey and Emiliano Buendia's strikes, shortly after the two sides had played out a goalless stalemate at Elland Road.

Villa also prevailed 3-0 on Leeds' turf in March 2022 and claimed a 1-0 win at Elland Road in February 2021, a run that saw Leeds fail to score in three consecutive home clashes with the Villans.

Leeds also have to go back to May 2003 for their last Premier League home victory against Aston Villa, and their last Elland Road success over the Lions in any competition came in the 2016-17 Championship season.

Outside of league football, Leeds and Aston Villa also contested the 1995-96 League Cup final, which was won 3-0 by the Lions at Wembley thanks to strikes from Savo Milosevic, Ian Taylor and Dwight Yorke.
