Two Premier League giants, Manchester City and Aston Villa, both vying for a coveted top-four spot, are set to face off in a highly anticipated match. Manchester City enters the game fresh off a 2-0 victory against Everton, mirroring Aston Villa`s dominant 4-1 win over Newcastle on the same day. Interestingly, Aston Villa secured a 2-1 win in their previous encounter in December and have won two of their last three matches against Manchester City. However, history favors Man City at home, as Aston Villa`s last Premier League win at the Etihad Stadium dates back to 2007.
Aston Villa approaches Tuesday`s match with high spirits, boasting a five-game winning streak in the league. Their defense has been particularly solid on the road, maintaining a clean sheet in their last three Premier League away games. Adding to their attacking prowess, Aston Villa has scored three or more goals in six of their last eight matches across all competitions.
Manchester City, known for their powerful offense, is among the league`s top scorers with 64 goals in 33 matches. Forward Omar Marmoush, with 10 Premier League starts for Man City, has been in good form, scoring six goals and consistently hitting shots on target in recent games.
Aston Villa`s attacking capabilities are also noteworthy, having scored 10 goals in their last three matches. Historically, matches between these two teams have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight league meetings, a trend that could continue on Tuesday.
