It's certainly not been a vintage year for the Citizens, who now know that they'll be heading into the next campaign without Pep Guardiola at the helm for the first time in a decade. Guardiola's last season hasn't been totally fruitless, with the men in Sky Blue winning the FA Cup recently, but they won't have wanted to enter the final round of EPL games knowing that they can no longer become EPL champions. At the very least, against an Aston Villa side that won't care about this game, they have the chance to send their fans home for the summer off the back of a big win.
Sunday's visitors capped off what has been an excellent season on Wednesday, as they lifted the UEFA Europa League title with a resounding win over German side Freiburg. They've also secured UCL soccer for next season, so it really is job done for Unai Emery's men, who have undoubtedly been partying since Wednesday, which means that they almost certainly won't be in perfect condition at Etihad Stadium. Home-team forward, such as the lively Jeremy Doku, should be licking their lips.

Our Manchester City vs Aston Villa Prediction
The season may not have gone how Pep Guardiola's men would have liked, but they've got a nice opportunity to enjoy themselves in front of a home crowd on Sunday, and against a tired Villa team that has likely spent a lot of time celebrating that UEFA Europa League victory, the in-form Jeremy Doku could do lots of damage.
The Belgian winger/forward is ending the campaign in solid form, scoring three in his last four EPL appearances, and given that he's up against a defense that probably won't be overly switched on, he's well worth betting on to notch at odds of +240.
Our Man City vs Aston Villa Pick: Jeremy Doku to Score.
