Aston Villa must look to continue their push up the Premier League table this season.

That is according to boss Unai Emery, who has taken the team from relegation contenders to outside candidates for a European position within a few months.

Emery, whose side beat Chelsea 2-0 at the weekend, wants them to continue their five-game unbeaten run against Leicester City.

We lost against them before. They are in the bottom but they have very good players. We know that," he said to reporters.

We are going to respect them and try to be consistent in our way, trying to be competitive like we are doing away.

It's something where we have to be defensively strong like we were against Chelsea. We need more from our defense and goalkeeper.

Of course, we want to add offensively more moments and to keep ball possession better than [v Chelsea]. That is the key for Tuesday: defend like we did against Chelsea and to try to control the game more with the ball.

We have to adapt as well because they are in a difficult moment, Leicester, and I know they'll improve and will play facing us with their power and their quality."
