History of the Manchester City v Aston Villa fixture

Man City prepare to entertain Aston Villa at City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 40 and lost only 15 of the 71 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City of Manchester Stadium was just last season, in March 2006, the Sky Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Manchester City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 in the wrong end.

Aston Villa's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Villans have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Man City see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 42 points from their 35 games played so far, Aston Villa see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 43 points from their 35 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Man City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Sky Blues will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Man City Drawn last 2 games at home.
Failed to win in previous 5 home matches.
Not won in the 3 most recent games.
Aston Villa Undefeated in last 3 away games.
7 games since last defeat.
