Command Analysis
Aston Villa
EnglandAston Villa lack consistency and struggle to get into the Top-10 in the Premier League. After 13 rounds, the Lions are 13th in the standings with 16 points from five victories and a draw.
In the last two games, Steven Gerrard's men recorded two victories - over Brighton (2:0) and Crystal Palace (2:1). The Lions have scored 18 goals, but their defense is quite unreliable: the team concedes on average two goals per game.
The League Cup campaign of the Villans ended in the Round of 16, when they lost to Chelsea in a penalty shootout.
Traore, Hassan, and Ings won't be able to help their team against Man City.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1,5) to Manchester City
We do not expect any surprises here, but for Manchester City this will be a third game in a week, plus they have a fixture on the weekend, so we don't think they will put all their heart in this match. We predict City's win by a margin of two goals.
