Man City vs Aston Villa Preview

Knee deep in the title race after recording its fifth straight Premier League victory, Manchester City will look to keep charging toward the top of the table by defeating Aston Villa on Wednesday night.

City will enter this fixture two points off league-leading Manchester United while still having a match in hand.

Their latest victory came by a 4-0 scoreline against Crystal Palace at this venue, marking the fourth consecutive match the Sky Blues have won to nil across all competitions.

They will be up against an Aston Villa squad which is still recovering from a COVID-19 outbreak that saw its latest two top-flight matches postponed.

Prior to that the Villains had fallen 2-1 at Manchester United, ending a five-match unbeaten run in the league.

If they are to bounce back, they will need to overcome a five-match losing streak against Manchester City across all competitions which includes four defeats by a margin of three or more goals.
