Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa manager Unai Emery will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Bournemouth. During that encounter they had 62% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 7 of their 15 shots on goal.
Emery will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded 8 goals during those same matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 20 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 14 games overall.
They are showing impressive form at home with a run of 13 straight wins in a row and added to that are unbeaten at Villa Park in 13 league games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Villa Park, Ollie Watkins will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 3-3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Tottenham Hotspur had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 19 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Pep Guardiola will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 10 goals in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from The Citizens, while they've been undefeated in their last 6 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
Erling Haaland will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 6 goals in the last 6 league games for Manchester City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-1 win for Manchester City.
The Citizens will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Aston Villa, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two.
