Manchester City vs Aston Villa: Betting Analysis
In recent weeks, Manchester City have struggled to generate forward momentum. In five of their last six Premier League games, they have scored one goal or fewer. On Sunday, Guardiola’s team did not play particularly offensively against Arsenal.
That said, Manchester City are still on our minds. They are still one of the greatest teams in the world at the moment, having taken the globe by storm the previous year. This season, the Cityzens are undefeated at Etihad Stadium. They will have a great deal of motivation to bounce back from disappointment of back-to-back league draws.
Despite keeping a clean sheet against an injury-plagued Wolves over the weekend, Aston Villa’s defence is everything from dependable. More significantly, Ollie Watkins, the Lions’ lucky charm, is probably going to be out of the lineup in tonight’s clash.

We wouldn’t be shocked to see the Kevin De Bruyne on the bench and Foden given the go-ahead to play in the central attacking midfield position, given that the Belgian played the entire ninety minutes on Sunday. So far this season, Phil has scored 11 goals. We like the 2.87 odds that are available for him to score any time tonight.
