Leicester looked more likely to open the scoring in the early stages but fashioned few clear openings, with James Maddison's curling freekick the Foxes' best effort in an uninspiring first half from both sides.
Villa showed more adventure after the break as
Ollie Watkins
proved to be a constant threat with his darting runs beyond the Leicester backline but the visitors failed to trouble
Kasper Schmeichel
in goal.
Leicester sent on
Jamie Vardy
for Patson Daka in the 71st minute for his first appearance since early March but the striker barely made an impression as
Villa
held out for a point to move a step closer to safety.
Leicester are 10th in the standings on 42 points, while Villa are 15th, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
