Manchester City – stats & current form
While Manchester City still had a few problems at the start of the season, the Skyblues have improved significantly in recent weeks. The adjustments by Pep Guardiola paid off and the new players, especially on the defensive, left a lasting impression. On Sunday, Manchester City celebrated a convincing and deserved 4-0 win against Crystal Palace and looked happy to Liverpool, where the LFC drew against Manchester United.
For the Premier League table, this means that the Citizens are now in second place. Two points are behind Manchester United, but City has one game less to play. Before the Manchester City vs. Aston Villa game, odds show that the hosts are the big favourites.
The form in the league is brilliant. Manchester City has won the last five games, with the second in the table conceding only one goal. The Skyblues have played nine times in the season so far, which is the highest value in the Premier League. That of all things the defence would be the key for Guardiola is quite surprising.
Manchester City: The next win should be here
The defensive statistics are completely impressive. Apart from the 2: 5 against Leicester and the 0: 2 bankruptcy at Tottenham, Manchester City never conceded more than one goal. Two goals in nine league games also speak for themselves. In addition, the offensive is sometimes easier when there is enormous compactness behind it on the field.
Before the game Manchester City vs. Aston Villa, our tip is that the Guardiola team will win this game by more than one goal difference due to the current very good form of the hosts.
In the coming weeks, Manchester City will play against West Brom, Sheffield and Burnley before the top games against Liverpool and Tottenham. If you keep the series, you should go into these important games as leaders. So you seem to have the championship in your own hands.
Sandler and Garcia are just two players missing against Aston Villa. Sergio Agüero could be back after his quarantine.

Ederson – Walker, Ruben Dias, Stones, Cancelo – Rodri, Gündogan, de Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling – Gabriel Jesus

Aston Villa – stats & current form
Aston Villa is having a decent season in the Premier League. Eleventh place is a good result so far, especially because the team still has some catching up to do. 26 points from 15 games show how good Aston Villa is so far. You could win eight games, that’s more than half.
Before the game Manchester City vs Aston Villa, the odds show that the guests will go into this game as a clear underdog.
In addition, Aston Villa has only conceded five goals away from home. The Birmingham club could well prove to be an unpleasant opponent for the Citizens. Aston Villa often looked good against top teams. Liverpool was surprisingly beaten 7-2, against Leicester there was a 1-0 win and at the end of December, they were able to play 1-1 against Chelsea.
Aston Villa lacks the rhythm
In the past few weeks, however, Aston Villa has lacked the rhythm. The games against Tottenham, Everton and Newcastle were all cancelled. Now the question is to what extent the break has done the team in terms of recovery. It was important to take a breather, but the form could have suffered as a result. You could win three of the last six games.
Before the Manchester City v Aston Villa game, our prediction is that, given their form and strong defence, the hosts will win this game by more than one goal difference.
Apart from Barkley, all players are fit. With the recovery of the last few weeks, coach Dean Smith can also draw on the full.
The probable lineup of Aston Villa:
Martinez – Cash, Konsa, Mings, Taylor – Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Lansbury, Grealish, Trezeguet – Watkins
