Here's our Aston Villa vs Man City Prediction analysis: Manchester City will visit mid-table outfit Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, as both sides lock horns in this Premier League clash at the Villa Park.

Having started this campaign in sensational style, a quick turnaround of fortune has caused Aston Villa to painfully slip down the order in the league. However, there remains an element of quality in their play, and they will be banking on this quality when they take on City in midweek.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have also shown some level of inconsistency lately, resulting to the end of their quadruple race, and a little snag in their league title chase. Even though the quadruple may be impossible now, they still remain on course for a treble.

In their last outing, Aston Villa had to leave Anfield with zilch after a late rally from Liverpool yielded a goal that took everything away from the Villans. Having grabbed the lead in the first half courtesy of an Ollie Watkins's goal, Aston Villa were lucky to still have the lead at halftime after Liverpool had a Roberto Firmino's goal chalked off due to an offside - a controversial one - in the build-up.

Despite a better second-half showing from the visitors, the Reds equalized through Mohammed Salah who had missed a glorious chance in the first half. Subsequently, the defining moment of the game, then, came in the final minutes when maligned Trent Alexander-Arnold scored a beautiful curler to steal maximum points at death.

Aston Villa currently occupy 11th-place on the league table, six points adrift 7th-placed Tottenham who have played two games more. And in the unlikely event that they take maximum points in this game, they will move back into the top half of the log.

Dean Smith's side have had to deal with the injury of talisman Jack Grealish, whose presence has been sorely missed, as it is evident in their recent results. In fact, they only have picked a solitary win in their last five matches in the Premier League.

Manchester City, like their counterparts, have also lost a talismanic presence in the shape of Kevin De Bruyne to foot injury. The meteoric midfielder picked up this knock in their FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea. A well-taken goal from Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech was enough to seal a spot in tbe FA Cup final for the West-London side.

While the champions-elect were less than convincing in this clash that took place at Wembley Stadium, the defeat would come after they had secured a place in the semifinals of the Champions League last Wednesday - albeit they are at a risk of disqualification due to their involvement in the European Super League.

Having lost their last league match to a 10-man Leeds United, the Sky Blues are still in need of a minimum of eleven points to clinch their third Premier League title in the period of four years. Hence, they will be desperate for a win here.

Aston Villa vs Man City Predictions

It goes without saying how much Aston Villa have struggled without their skipper Jack Grealish. And with his return not expected until early May, it won't be much of a surprise if the Villans struggle to take a favorable result here, especially given the strength of their opponents.

Hence, we envisage Manchester City doing just about enough to win, as they are clear favorites in this game. And with Ederson and other regular starters bound to return for City, we expect a clean sheet, and at least two goals from the champions-elect.
