Man City V Aston Villa

Review of the MAN City V Aston Villa match match

On Tuesday night, Manchester City hosted Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium in a match that could play a decisive role in qualifying for the Battle of the Champions League.

Both sides enter the middle of the week on the back of impressive victories. Manchester City took a 2-0 victory in Everton on Saturday, thanks to Nico O’Reilly and Mate Kovacic’s late goal.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa inflicted a Newcastle shot, beating Magpies 4-1 in Villa Park.

The result allowed City to close in Newcastle, and Tim Pepa Guardiola now has 10 points from its last four league games – three of those containing clean leaves.

The city home remained a fortress for the most part in 2025. Only Liverpool and Real Madrid managed to win Etihad of this calendar year.

Especially against the villa, City boasts an incredible home record, winning its last 14 meetings in Manchester.

Villa did not beat City on her own lawn since 2007, when Stuart Pearce was still in charge before the download. But with their current momentum, this could be a season that is a curse broken.
