Man City v Aston Villa EPL Prediction – Preview
Manchester City F.C.
Manchester City remain second in the Premier League table with 45 points, five behind league leaders Arsenal. Most recently, the reigning titlists suffered a heartbreaking 0-1 loss to 10-man Tottenham in London. Spurs went ahead on just 15 minutes as Harry Kane netted his record-setting goal past Ederson. The Citizens failed to respond, with Riyad Mahrez coming close when he hit the bar. Aside from that, the Pep Guardiola-led side also face sanctions after the league charged them with breaches of the financial fair play rule. Will the game against Villa give them motivation to prove that they are unbothered, or will the matter seep into their performance?
Man City have won their last 12 EPL home matches against Aston Villa, coming from 2-0 down to triumph 3-2 and get the EPL title on last season’s final day.
The Citizens have lost 4 EPL matches this season, which is already more than they did in the entire 2021/22 (3). They bowed 0-1 to Tottenham last time, but have not lost consecutive league matches since December 2018.
Aston Villa F.C.
Aston Villa are currently seated just outside the league top ten with 28 points. Their last outing saw them lose two leads to bow 2-4 to Leicester City at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins fired the Villans ahead at the 9th minute, but James Maddison levelled three minutes later. The Foxes’ Harry Souttar then deflected the ball into his own net, handing back the lead to Villa. But after a few minutes, Leicester took control of the game, with Kelechi Iheanacho, Tetê and Dennis Praet all scoring. Villa boss Unai Emery was disappointed with the result, and admitted his side’s mistakes cost them against the Foxes. Can the Birmingham-based club capitalise on the uncertain mood at Man City and get a much-needed win?
Aston Villa have won only one of their last 29 away matches against reigning top-flight titleists (D6 L22), defeating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford in December 2009. They’ve lost the last 8 such matches by an aggregate score of 26-6.
The Villans have won all 3 of their EPL away matches under Unai Emery. John Gregory is the only manager in Villa’s history in the league to win the first 4 away matches (first 5 between March-May 1998). Villa last won 4 straight top-flight away matches between November 2008 and February 2009 (7).

Man City v Aston Villa EPL Prediction – Final Thoughts
Man City’s troubles off the field should not dampen their spirits this weekend, and they will take control of the game from the get-go. Even as Aston Villa lag behind on stats, Emery’s tactics may rub on them enough to capture a goal at the Etihad. However, the Citizens will have enough to steal all three points as they push on to retain their title. On that note, let’s take a look at our predictions.
