Matchday 8 of the English Premier League will delight fans with plenty of exciting battles. One of them will take place at Villa Park, where Aston Villa will host Manchester City.
After a terrible start to the season, the hosts have managed to collect 7 points from their last three league games. They now have 8 points and sit 12th in the league table. Last weekend, Aston Villa played a fantastic away match against Newcastle United and managed to win 0-1.
Manchester City continue their winning run in the Premier League, which keeps them at the top of the table with a 3-point lead over their closest rivals. In Matchday 7, City beat Ipswich Town, but despite the statistics heavily favouring the Citizens, the victory was not easy. In fact, the team once again owed their win to the genius of the Premier League’s top scorer, Erling Haaland, who scored twice.

Prediction for the Aston Villa vs Manchester City
Despite numerous problems, including an investigation into financial violations that will certainly lead to sanctions, City are having an almost flawless Premier League season. However, Aston Villa seem to be finding their form from last season. In addition, Manchester City’s difficult away fixture and Haaland’s inability to carry the team on his shoulders in every match should play a role. Therefore, I recommend betting on the double chance market: Aston Villa to win or draw.
