Manchester City - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Manchester City's 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Sunday was not a bad result, but it was their second draw in a row and that means that with Liverpool beating Brighton, Jurgen Klopp's team are now three points clear of City and with a better goal difference. That makes this game a must-win one for the Citizens who are unbeaten in their last 23 games in all competitions. In fact, the last team to beat them was Aston Villa back in early December. Goals have become somewhat scarce in recent Premier League games for City. They have scored more than once on just one occasion in their last six EPL games (the 3-1 win over Manchester United), scoring once against Chelsea, Brentford, Bournemouth and Liverpool and failing to find the net on Sunday against the Gunners. City have not lost a home Premier League game to Villa since September 2012, winning all the games at the Etihad between the two teams since.
Since losing 4-0 at home to Tottenham, Aston Villa have bounced back well. They beat Ajax 4-0 at Villa Park, drew 1-1 away at West Ham and then defeated local rivals Wolves on Saturday evening 2-0 thanks to goals from Moussia Diaby and Ezri Konsa. The win saw them remain fourth in the table, three points ahead of Tottenham and eleven in front of Manchester United, both of whom have a game in hand. Villa have been in solid form of late, winning three of their last five and that defeat to Spurs is the only blemish on their record in that spell of results. However, having not picked up a point at the Etihad in the last 11 years in the league, this is going to be a very tough ask for the visitors on Wednesday night.

Manchester City & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
Manchester City will still be without Kyle Walker, who is out at least for this game and may yet be out a while longer. However goalkeeper Ederson, who has been absent with a thigh injury for a while, could be back in contention to start against Villa. One injury concern could be Nathan Ake, who hobbled off in the game against Arsenal at the weekend and had to be replaced by Rico Lewis at right full-back. Lewis could deputise if Ake cannot play, or Pep could elect to play a back three, with John Stones coming into midfield. Stones was initially a doubt for the weekend game against Arsenal but did make the bench, although he did not feature in the draw. City have been very solid defensively of late with both Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol impressing at the back.
Villa come into this game hoping that midfielder Jacob Ramsey will be fit for the game. The young England midfielder is reckoned to be a 50/50 chance to be fit enough to play and he may well be needed especially given that John McGinn will serve the second of his two game suspension in this match. Polish international Matty Cash came back from international duty with a thigh injury and will likely be out until mid-April at the earliest. Villa also have long-term absentees Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia and Boubacar Kamara out until at least next season and maybe nearer Christmas in the case of Kamara. Striker Ollie Watkins has been in great form for the Villains in recent games along with Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz.
