Manchester City to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n17\/20 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(54.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThis has, historically, been a successful fixture for Man City, who have won seven of the last 10 meetings between the two. Pep Guardiola’s side also come into the game without a loss in their last nine games as they look to close Arsenal down at the top of the league. Aston Villa are in good form themselves, having won their last five in all competitions, but this represents a much tougher challenge for Unai Emery’s side and they’ve only won two of the last 10 meetings between the sides.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nOne thing that has been prevalent in games featuring either of these sides recently has been goals. Man City have scored 25 goals in 12 games this season, an average of more than two a game, whilst Aston Villa have seen their last three Premier League games all beat the 2.5 goal line. Man City are the top scorers in the Premier League, so far, scoring 17 goals and that’s in no small part down to the form of Erling Haaland, who has 11 goals in eight Premier League games already.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
