Two of the Premier League's most recognisable teams will battle it out in preseason when they face off on Sunday in Brisbane, Australia.
With both debatably under achieving against their goals in the league last season, managers Steven Gerrard and Jesse Marsch will be keen to quickly get their squads in shape with the new top-flight campaign now just under three weeks away.
This friendly will act as Villa's second fixture of this preseason after they beat League Two outfit Walsall 4-0 previously, whilst for Leeds it will be their third, following 4-0 and 2-1 victories against Blackpool and Brisbane Roar respectively so far.

Which players could feature in Aston Villa vs. Leeds?
Both of these sides have made significant moves so far this summer in an effort to strengthen their respective squads for the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Villa fans will perhaps most be looking forward to watching new defender Diego Carlos in action as well as midfielder Boubacar Kamara who recently joined the club from French side Marseille.
Leeds fans will similarly be looking forward to more cameos from new players including Marc Roca and Luis Sinisterra who both impressed in the club's 2-1 win over Brisbane earlier this week.
Fellow new singing Tyler Adams is also likely to get more minutes under his belt, as too will striker Patrick Bamford who missed most of last season through injury.
