Free Match Preview And Prediction: Aston Villa Vs Manchester City On Wednesday 21st, April 2021.

Aston Villa come into the match having lost last time out at Liverpool. They took the lead in the game and it appeared as though they would take at least a point from the match but Aston Villa conceded a last minute goal to lose the game 2-1. That result means Aston Villa have picked up just a single victory from their last 6 fixtures, all of which have come in the Premier League.

Aston Villa have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 4 home Premier League games. Their home form has been disappointing of late and Aston Villa have picked up only 2 victories from their last 6 home Premier League games. They have been struggling to score goals at Villa Park and only once in those 6 matches have Aston Villa managed to score more than a single goal and that was 3 goals in the comeback win over Fulham.

Manchester City come into the match having been eliminated from the FA Cup at the hands of Chelsea on the weekend. It was a poor performance by Pep Guardiola’s team and the fact they made 8 changes to the starting XI from the win in Dortmund did not help matters. That result ended any hope of winning the quadruple this season and Manchester City cannot match the treble of Manchester United from 1999.

Manchester City have also been good defensively and they have managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 3 away Premier League games. However, they will be determined to seal the Premier League title as soon as possible and come into this match undefeated in 35 of their last 38 fixtures in all competitions. Trends show Manchester City have managed to win 9 consecutive away games in the Premier League and have scored at least one goal in each of those 9 matches.

Aston Villa continue without the injured Jack Grealish and he is joined on the treatment table by Trezeguet. Anwar El Ghazi is expected to start but Morgan Sanson is a doubt.

Manchester City will be without Kevin De Bruyne who is reportedly facing a month on the sidelines due to an ankle injury. Sergio Aguero is also unavailable but Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Ederson are all expected to be restored to the starting XI.

PREDICTION: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
