Aston Villa host Man City at the Villa Park (Birmingham) in the 32nd round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 8.15 pm (UK) on Wednesday, April 21. Read our reasons for Aston Villa vs Man City prediction and betting tips.
In the second half of the season, Villa have been found out and, let's face it, the table never lies and they're 10th for a reason which points at Dean Smith's side being inconsistent which they most definitely are. The best sides are the consistent ones and that will be amongst Smith's priorities next term to make Villa a bigger and better beast. Meanwhile, Hakim Ziyech fired Chelsea to a fourth FA Cup final in five years as Man City’s quest for an unprecedented quadruple went up in smoke on Saturday night. However, Man City is slowly getting near the championship, being seated comfortably at the top of the table despite a surprising 2-1 loss against Leeds at the Etihad at the weekend.
Villa were in the lead at Anfield at half-time and although Liverpool equalised on 57 minutes, still looked capable of holding on to at least a point with Trezeguet almost defying the laws of gravity, or perhaps physics, with a shot that hit the inside of the post and bounced back into play. Villa continued to hold on, then with the end in sight, poor clearance fell in just the wrong place for Alexander-Arnold to smash the ball home and leave Villains empty-handed.
Villa have now lost more Premier League games to stoppage-time goals than any other club and, even though, this wasn’t a bad performance, a bit more self-belief, or possibly a coat less varnish on the post, might have seen a win and another three points towards a European push. There's now a 10-day break until Villa's next match against Man City which will give Smith and his squad ample time to lick their wounds for their eight-game run-in.
As for the runaway Premier League leaders, the league is all but secure. They play an ailing Tottenham, probably without Harry Kane, in next Sunday’s League Cup final and have Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final. Against Villa, Pep Guardiola will be keen for his side to reserve as much energy as they can during games. It also means their best XI will probably only take to the field for knockout games in the cup competitions given that the league is as good as won.
Defeats happen even to the best sides and the fascination now, with Saturday’s FA Cup exit coming so soon after the league defeat to a counterattacking Leeds, is what Guardiola does next. There were plenty of explanations to be found for those minded to look. But the characteristic nature of the defeats could not but cause concern. It has come to feel as though Guardiola’s whole career has become a wrestle with the one flaw in an otherwise crushingly effective method. On the other hand, it may be that this was a blip and nothing more.

Aston Villa meet Man City having previously lost 11 of their last 13 Premier League meetings with the Citizens (W1, D1), with their only victory during this period coming in September 2013. Moreover, City have won their last four top-flight meetings with Aston Villa by an aggregate score of 15-1. Indeed, the Citizens have scored more PL goals against Villa than they have against any other opponent (83).
Villa are just four points off their haul from 2010/2011 where they finished ninth on 44 points with the carrot now perhaps to top that finish come the end of the season and while Guardiola may field a second-string starting XI here, the win will be vital before next two season-defining matches in the Carabao Cup and the Champions League.
