Aston Villa vs Manchester City Live Streaming, Premier League 2025-26: Match Prediction
Manchester City will enter this match as favourites, with nine games without defeat in all competitions and a merciless attack spearheaded by Haaland. Their high-stakes experience in games against the top-six teams advantageously tips the balance in their favour.
Villa do, however, have the benefit of home surroundings and a history of competitive meetings with City. Emery’s tactical adaptability and Lucas Digne’s return to defence may be enough to allow the Lions to exploit weaknesses in the visitors’ rearguard.
Look for an expansive affair with City most likely to dominate possession but Villa threatening on the counter-attack.
Prediction: Aston Villa 1–3 Manchester City
