Manchester City take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 3rd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City are determined to repeat the successes of last season. In 2023, The Citizens achieved a remarkable result even by their very high standards. First and foremost, they finally won the Champions League. They want to keep the Big Ears and continue to win in the tournament in the new cycle – both in the group stage and in the round of 16, against Copenhagen. But ahead, already in the quarter-finals, they will play against Real Madrid. In both previous cycles, the English fought against the stars from Madrid, albeit at the semi-final stage, and the winner of the pair eventually won the tournament. At the same time, they have already reached the semi-final stage of the country's cup. Considering that they will play against Chelsea there, and United will simultaneously compete with Coventry, many predict, just like in 2023, a Manchester derby in the decisive match. But, of course, the priority remains the Premier League, where they are in a tough battle with Liverpool, with whom they drew last month, and Arsenal. They just clashed with them over the weekend. The teams disappointed there, delivering at least a month's worth of boring 0-0 in what could have been a potentially central match.

Aston Villa have a good history, quite rich in trophies. But gradually, they lost ground, and, losing the status of a mid-table team, eventually fell into the Championship. From there, they managed to return, but after selling their undisputed leader, Grealish, it seemed that everything would come down to a fight for survival. But in the fall of the year before last, Unai Emery was somehow lured to Birmingham. The Spaniard clearly intended to seek revenge in English football after his failure at Arsenal. And so far, everything is going according to plan for him. Already last season, during which the manager appeared, they took 7th place. This allowed them to go to the Conference League, where, starting with the qualifiers in the summer, the English then won their group in 2023, and in March eliminated Ajax in the round of 16 – and next will be a clash with Lille. But the main focus is on the Premier League, where they managed to even reach 2nd place, and now they have been able to stay in the top quartet. Although there were problems, such as the 0-4 defeat to Tottenham in March. But Wolverhampton was confidently beaten after the break for international matches, 2-0.
For years, The Villans had at most draws in their head-to-head matches. But in December, Bailey's single goal ended with a long-awaited victory. The Citizens are considered the clear favorites of the pair. But again, it's not worth overestimating the potential abundance of goals – here we bet on total under 3.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
