One of Sunday's five EPL fixtures comes to us from Villa Park, where Unai Emery's men will be hoping to bounce back after that defeat to G.A Eagles in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening. Facing Aston Villa will be Man City, who head to Birmingham off the back of a pleasing away-day success in the UEFA Champions League, beating Villarreal by two goals to zero. Such an effort points towards Pep Guardiola's men having more than enough in the tank to see off a home team that has been far from impressive so far this season.
The Villans had started to deliver some improved results, but they reverted back to being disappointing in the final third on Thursday evening, which is not what they needed ahead of a game that is going to be very tough indeed. Let's be honest, the home forward line will need to be far more clinical if Emery is to see his side get anything from this fixture.

Our Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction
The early points towards this being quite a high scorer, but I'm not sure a glut of goals is as likely as odds of -143 would have us believe. Let's face it, Guardiola's visitors have taken a much more measured approach this season, which has often resulted in relatiely low-scoring games, especially away from home. What's more, despite some positive results recently, the Villans have done anything but thrive offensively this season, so don't be too surprised if this is a fairly low-key in terms of goals. Our Aston Villa vs Man City Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
