Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Manchester City will be aiming to make amends for the FA Cup defeat to Chelsea when they take on Aston Villa in a postponed Premier League clash. Pep Guardiola’s men are eager to cement top position in the standings, and we are positive that the Catalan tactician is going to field the best possible side against the Villans. All Gundogan, Mahrez, and Walker are pushing for a start, while Kun Aguero should recover in time to face Villa.
Dean Smith’s troops, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to struggling title holders Liverpool on Matchday 31. The Villans are stuck in the middle of the standings, and seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. Jack Grealish remains in the recovery room, as well as Trezeguet and Wesley.

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.
