Aston Villa vs Man City Prediction: Betting Tips, Team News & More

Aston Villa host Man City in one of four Premier League matches taking place at 2pm on Sunday.

Villa have won five of their last six games in all competitions, including three straight league wins, while they've conquered Man City in the last two meetings at Villa Park.

Pep Guardiola’s side are also flying, having gone unbeaten in their last nine across league and cup, picking up 13 points from their last five Premier League games.

We've picked out our top betting tips for Sunday's clash, while BOYLE Sports will pay you out as a winner if the team you back goes two goals ahead.

There's simply no stopping Erling Haaland right now.

The Man City striker is in sensational form, tearing through defences with a staggering 24 goals in 14 appearances for club and country. He’s found the net in all but one of those matches and is currently riding an incredible 12-game scoring streak.

Aston Villa have been in good form themselves, though their momentum took a hit with a surprise midweek defeat to Go Ahead Eagles, and they’ll have had two days less to recover than City, who are on the hunt for their fourth straight league win.

With Pep Guardiola’s side looking back to their brilliant best, the away win combined with yet another Haaland goal, is our first pick at 11/8 with BoyleSports.

Morgan Rogers has been in sparkling form of late and has played a pivotal role in Aston Villa’s resurgence after their sluggish start to the season.

The England star has registered three goal involvements in his last three league matches, including assists against Fulham and Burnley, taking his tally to 13 Premier League assists since the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

Rogers has received the ball between the lines a league-high 78 times this season, underlining his brilliant movement, intelligence, and positional awareness.

Villa undoubtedly face a stern test against an in-form Man City, but given Rogers’ current confidence and creativity, he looks a tempting option at 5/1 to carve out another assist on Sunday, which is a bet that's landed in two of his last three games against the Cityzens

Aston Villa will continue to be without Andres Garcia and Youri Tielemans, while the in-form Emiliano Buendia is pushing for a start.

Rodri is unlikely to be rushed back for Man City, with Abdukodir Khusanov likely to be out too. Josko Gvardiol was surprisingly benched in favour of Nathan Ake last weekend but will hope to return to the starting 11 on Sunday.
