Man City vs Aston Villa: FW Predictions

Premier League predictions for Man City's home game against Aston Villa this Sunday. Guardiola's men head into this match as the big favourite to win despite a disappointing result last time out against Tottenham. Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing result of their own after they were thrashed 4-2 in their own backyard by Leicester City.

Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score

We're predicting goals in this game as six of the last seven meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score and five of those matches produced over 2.5 goals. Three of Man City's last five fixtures have witnessed at least three goals scored, while both teams have found the back of the net in four of Aston Villa's last five outings.

Erling Haaland to Score First

In terms of a first goalscorer this Sunday, there can only be one logical choice. Erling Haaland has scored 25-goals in the Premier League alone this season and he is currently running away with the Golden Boot award. Nobody has scored first in more games for Man City this season than Haaland with the Norway striker hitting the back of the net first on six occasions so far, adding plenty of weight to our prediction.

Let's take a look at the latest markets and odds ahead of Man City vs Aston Villa.

Man City odds: 27/100 (1.27) – 78.7%

Draw odds: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%

Aston Villa odds: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.7%

*all odds provided are the best price at the time of publication and come from various bookmakers and therefore the probabilities won't always add up to 100%.

Man City are huge favourites to beat Aston Villa this weekend and we can't argue with the bookmakers on that one. However, if you want to back an Aston Villa player to Score First on Sunday then look no further than Ollie Watkins at 16/1 (17.00) – 5.9%. If you believe that the visitors will pick up at least a point this weekend then why not back Aston Villa with a Double Chance bet at 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%?

How will the teams lineup for this Premier League clash?

Man City

A solitary strike from Harry Kane in the 15th minute proved enough for the 10-men of Tottenham to beat Man City last time out. Spurs only found themselves a man down with 3-minutes left on the clock and Man City failed to take advantage in what was a disappointing display overall. Guardiola will be without JohnStones this weekend but could welcome Phil Foden back to the squad following a short illness.

Predicted Lineup – Ederson (GK), Walker, Aké, Akanji, Lewis, Grealish, Silva, Rodri, Mahrez, Haaland & Álvarez

Aston ViIla

Aston Villa weren't too bad in the first half of their home game against Leicester, though, their defending did leave little to be desired. Watkins fired the home side in front after 9-minutes but the Foxes equalised shortly after. An own goal from Souttar put Villa back in front in the 32nd-minute but a rare goal from Iheanacacho made it 2-2 in the 41st minute and Tete made it 3-2 in first-half stoppage-time much to the dismay of the home fans. Praet scored the only goal of the second forty-five to hand Leicester a 4-2 victory and Emery knows that his side can't afford to defend like that against Man City this weekend. Carlos, Traore and Steer will all miss the trip to the Etihad through injury.

Predicted Lineup – Martínez (GK), Young, Digne, Mings, Konsa, Buendía, Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey, Watkins & Bailey

Player to Watch: Erling Haaland

Man city haven't been at their free-flowing best of late and we believe that they are going to need a big performance from their main striker Erling Haaland this weekend. Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm this season, finding the back of the net 25-times and scoring a few hat tricks along the way.

Aston Villa offer a goal threat under Emery and there is a good chance that Man City will need to score at least two goals to win this weekend and we're backing Haaland to put in one of his now vintage performances to help guide his team back to winning ways.
