Manchester City VS Aston Villa Match Prediction

Manchester City beat Aston Villa three times last season as Villa returned to the Premier League for the first time since 2016. City won 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium, put six past them in a 6-1 victory at Villa Park and then won 2-1 in the Carabao Cup Final. In that most recent meeting, at Wembley, Sergio Aguero and Rodri put City 2-0 up but Mbwana Samatta pulled a goal back and it took a fine late save from Claudio Bravo to ensure City claimed yet another Carabao Cup title.

Another dominant Manchester City win last time out means they are on the brink of returning to the top of the Premier League table. In the form they are in, they would have been big favourites for this game anyway but especially after Villa's enforced isolation period.

Manchester City made it eight wins in a row last time out, taking their unbeaten run to 15 matches.
