Preamble
The race for a top-five finish is heating up …
… so this is a big one. Ostensibly this is too close to call, with Manchester City coming back into form (four wins in five) and Aston Villa very much in it (ten wins in 11). However City’s current streak in this particular fixture is 14 wins in a row, so while Villa triumphed in the reverse fixture last December, Unai Emery’s side have quite the mental hurdle to clear if they’re to complete their first league double over City since 1962-63. Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on!
