One of the most exciting fixtures of the Premier League’s 9th round will take place on October 26 at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Manchester City.

Aston Villa continue their confident climb up the table, with three wins in their last three matches. The most recent victory came in a tough away game against Tottenham Hotspur, who are in strong form this season. It’s worth noting that Unai Emery’s side had to come from behind after conceding an early goal in that match.

Manchester City currently look unstoppable — like a runaway train. Of course, much of their success depends on their star striker, Erling Haaland. When he is on form, why not take advantage of it? After a shaky start to the league campaign, City have shifted into top gear, winning four of their last five games, some of them by emphatic margins.

Prediction for the Aston Villa vs Manchester City

Aston Villa are in excellent shape, enjoying an impressive winning streak and playing at home. In almost any other scenario, the hosts would be considered favorites. But Manchester City are arriving in Birmingham, and right now they are steamrolling everyone. Villa are unlikely to be the team to stop them. The prediction: a win for City.
