Insights:
  • Manchester City have the most scored goals (96) in Premier League
  • Manchester City have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Aston Villa have scored away.

Aston Villa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only three sleeps ago.

Manchester City form and stats

Manchester City have performed here at Etihad Stadium this season with 14 wins from 18 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. Manchester City has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Tottenham Hotspur defeat 91 days ago.

Manchester City drew their last game, 2-2 away at West Ham United (placed 7th). A painful moment in the game against West Ham United was the missed penalty kick from Mahrez in the 86th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. The attacking player Grealish was named "man of the match" for City with the rating of 8.41/10. Grealish scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 50 successful passes (of 53 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers and winning 5-1.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Manchester City have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 14 games found in the database showing 12 Manchester City wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Manchester City is on fire here. A stunning 55 from 18 league matches. Manchester City are not conceding a lot of goals here at Etihad Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 18 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Aston Villa form and stats

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Crystal Palace.

The visiting Aston Villa have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 21 goals from 18 games. 22 goals have been conceded by Villa in these games.
