Leicester City vs. Aston Villa: How to Watch the Premier League Match Live

The Foxes are looking to avoid three successive defeats as they face their Villanous local rivals.

Leicester host Aston Villa on Saturday in what looks set to be a fiery east Midlands derby.

The Foxes will be determined to head into the international break on a positive note after crashing to a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Fulham last weekend at Craven Cottage.

Villa, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to Arsenal, a match that could have had a very different outcome had striker Ollie Watkins put away two straightforward opportunities early in the game.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch game as it happens wherever you are in the world.

How to Watch Leicester City vs. Aston Villa From Anywhere

If you find yourself unable to view EPL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How to Watch Leicester City vs. Aston Villa in the UK

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.

That also means that if you're in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geo-blocking.

There's one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.
