Prediction: 2-2
Man City
After dropping two points in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Aston Villa will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they take on Manchester City on Wednesday evening. The Villans want to keep their 100% record at home intact and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the struggling title holders. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Boubacar Kamara is banned for the match, while all Bertrand Traore, Kortney Hause, Tyrone Mings, and Emiliano Buendia remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Citizens, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league matches and given their difficulties at the back, away win should not be considered. Following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Tottenham, Pep Guardiola’s troops are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and, taking everything into account, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Both Mateo Kovacic and Nathan Ake are pushing for a start, while Jack Grealish serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Rodri is banned for the midweek clash as well.
Highlighted Player (Diego Carlos):
Diego Carlos Santos Silva is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Nantes as a defender. His main position is centre-back and his preferred foot is right. Diego Carlos began his youth career at America-SP and in 2010 he moved to Desportivo Brasil. After spending the 2012/2013 season on loan at Sao Paulo, the 185-cm-tall defender returned to Desportivo Brasil.
However, he made his first-team debut with Madureira during his spell with the club (2014). In 2014 Diego Carlos signed a contract with Portuguese club Estoril Praia and he scored two goals in 39 appearances for the Primeira Liga club. It has to be noted, though, that he played for Porto B (on loan) in the 2014/2015 season.
Diego Carlos moved to French club Nantes in the summer of 2016 and you should bear in mind that he quickly established himself as a first-team regular with les Canaris. The Brazilian footballer scored two goals in 34 appearances for Nantes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign. His contract with the Ligue 1 side expires on June 20, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
