Command Analysis

Manchester City

Current form
At the end of the season, when there is no room for mistakes, Manchester City played out and right now is on a seven-match winless streak, which has not been the case for a long time. Interestingly, a kind of breakthrough came after Holand was out for the rest of the season due to injury. The townspeople have a chance to win the FA Cup, as they made it to the semi-finals after defeating Bournemouth (2-1). They have a battle ahead for the finals against Nottingham Forest on April 27. In the Premier League, there is an opportunity to finish in third place, the gap from Newcastle in this position is only one point, however, the competition in this part of the table is tough, several point losses may lead to the fact that you will have to stay without a place in the top 5 and without a ticket to the Champions League for next season. Manchester City is currently in fourth place, but only one point ahead of Aston Villa, which is in seventh place.
In the last round, Josep Guardiola's team played away against Everton. It was not an easy walk, as expected, but only in the very end we managed to score two goals – a 2-0 victory.
Despite not having the best season, Manchester City looks convincing on their own field – 33 points scored in 16 matches, with only three defeats. There is a game ahead against Aston Villa, which the townspeople have beaten in 14 previous matches in the Premier League at the Etihad. The last time the Birmingham team won at this stadium was back in 2007.

Birmingham played bravely and aggressively in attack, scored nine shots on target and achieved a well-deserved victory.

Aston Villa have another difficult test today, the calendar clearly does not spare the team. You will have to play in a difficult schedule, and even against an inconvenient opponent. Since 2007, Birmingham have not scored a single point in the Premier League at the Etihad. It will not be easy to break this series of failures, as the townspeople played out at the end of the season, succeeding even when the game is not quite going well, putting the squeeze on the unyielding Everton away the day before, and defeated Crystal Palace at home. We believe that the fatigue factor will still make itself felt and Aston Villa will be defeated.
