Man City vs Aston Villa prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Manchester City finds themselves at a crucial juncture in their Premier League title aspirations following a weekend setback, with a vital clash against a high-flying Aston Villa looming. Aston Villa, eyeing a coveted top-four spot, present a significant challenge for City.

Pep Guardiola's side are the favourites in this match at 2/9 with CopyBet while Villa are 11/1 to keep their top four hopes going and a draw is 11/2. The much-anticipated showdown with Arsenal last Sunday ended in a lacklustre draw, leaving both goalkeepers relatively untested and dashing the hopes of many bettors.

Liverpool emerged as the weekend's real victors, edging two points ahead of Arsenal and three in front of reigning champions City, with only nine matches remaining in the league campaign.

A startling revelation from the weekend's action is Manchester City's inability to secure a victory against any of the top five teams this season, a trend they are desperate to reverse against Aston Villa to rejuvenate their title defence. However, overcoming Aston Villa, who handed them a defeat in December, will be no small feat.

Aston Villa has silenced doubters with their resilience, losing just once in their last eight outings and holding on to fourth place. Under Unai Emery's guidance, Aston Villa has thrived, and another triumph over Guardiola's City could significantly bolster their ambitions for European glory next season.

Man City to win and both teams to score - 11/8

Over 3.5 goals - 20/21
