The big games come thick and fast from the English Premier League, and followers have a busy Wednesday ahead with no fewer than three games on the schedule. The action begins in North London, where Arsenal aim to keep their title ambitions alive with a home win over Luton while Brentford host Brighton. The game of the night comes from the home of the champions, where Man City welcomes Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium.
The result of this game could be crucial to the outcome of the Premier League title and the race to finish in the top four, securing UEFA Champions League football for next season. Man City started the week in third place, just three points off the pace set by Liverpool. Aston Villa started in fourth, clinging on to their European finish. How will this game finish? Kee reading for our expert predictions.
Manchester City may have won the treble last season, scooping the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup, but they remain in a battle to retain the EPL title. Pep Guardiola’s side started the week in third place following Sunday’s uninspiring goalless draw with fellow title contenders Arsenal. The Gunners would’ve been happier with a share of the spoils, while City fans saw it as two points dropped.
That draw was the second level finish on the bounce for the champions, who snatched a 1-1 at Anfield in their previous Premier League game. They did bank a morale-boosting victory over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium recently when on FA Cup quarter-final duty, ensuring they remain in the hunt for a successful defence. Fans want to see the champions make an overdue return to winning ways at this level.
Aston Villa has proven the dark horse of this Premier League season, and they have every chance of finishing in the top four and making a long-overdue return to European football. Seeing Aston Villa in the Champions League would be an encouraging sight for fans who know gaining entry to that competition would help the manager attract a higher calibre of player and see an injection into his transfer kitty.
Bet hereVilla travel to the home of the champions with their recent form showing three wins, one draw and a defeat from their last five games. They took just one point from a possible six recently but made a welcome return to three points when beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 on Saturday at Villa Park. A timely win and clean sheet, but they face a much sterner test here.
Man City has the home advantage for this game. Although they are just one place higher than their opponents in the current standings, City has collected five more points. If they play to the best of their abilities and give this match their full concentration, they should have enough to win.
Aston Villa are no mugs or pushovers this season. Despite being the visitors, they are a dangerous outfit that will come to win and have the quality to hurt their opponents. An away win would certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons, throwing Villa into the title race, but that’s a huge ask at the Etihad.
