Aston Villa vs Manchester City Head To Head Record
Both sides come into this one in strong form, with Aston Villa now unbeaten in five straight matches across all competitions, meanwhile City haven’t tasted defeat in nine consecutive matches.
City have been susceptible to dropping points however, as they have played out stalemates in all of their last three Premier League matches in score draws against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham.
While City head into the gameweek three points behind league leaders Arsenal in third, Villa are just a point behind in fifth after Ollie Watkins bagged a late leveller against Bournemouth last weekend to rescue a point away from home.
City Earned Four Points Against Villa Last Season
Reigning champions Manchester City recorded a win and a draw against Villa in the league on their way to an historic treble last term, triumphing 3-1 at the Etihad, and drawing 1-1 at Villa Park.
The meeting at the home of Aston Villa saw the free-scoring Erling Haaland bag the opener five minutes after emerging from the tunnel in the second period, before Jamaican winger Leon Bailey found a leveller on the 74 minute mark under Steven Gerrard back in September 2022.
Five months later came the 3-1 victory in favour of the champions, in which City raced to a 3-0 lead in the first period thanks to goals from Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, with a Watkins goal in the second period proving to be nothing but a consolation for Unai Emery‘s side.
Just One Goal Has Separated The Pair In Three Of City’s Last Four Wins
Despite Villa not boasting a win over City since way back in 2013, the scorelines across the majority of their meetings have been tight with just one goal separating the pair in three of City’s last four wins.
City’s last clean sheet against the Villans came almost three years ago back in January 2021, and you’d have to go back almost four years to January 2020 to find the last time that Pep Guardiola‘s side beat Wednesday night’s counterparts by more than two goals.
