Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Man City
A draw in the game between Manchester City and Arsenal (0:0) was quite a good result for Liverpool. The Citizens now have to beat Aston Villa, who are currently 4th. With 9 games to go to the end of the season, the Citizens are 3 points behind Liverpool. Man City have 35 points in the 15 games played at their stadium this season. Only Liverpool have more (39). Man City have scored 18 goals in the last 10 Premier League games (only Wolverhampton and Fulham from the top 10 have scored less). The Citizens have conceded only 7 goals in the same period (2nd best result).
Aston Villa
Aston Villa have been more successful in the home games this season, with 34 of their 59 points being gained at the home stadium. However, Aston Villa haven’t lost an away game on the 5 last occasions, gaining 25 points in the 15 games they have played. Only Liverpool (28), Manchester City (29) and Arsenal (30) have better results.
Man City – Aston Villa prediction
Aston Villa beat Manchester City in their first head-to-head game this Premier League season (1:0). It happened for the first time since September 2013. Both teams will try to avoid risking this time.
