Aston Villa vs Man City Tips
Tip 1
Jhon Duran continues to whip up strong feelings for many in the heavily discussed debate between himself and Ollie Watkins as Villa’s starting striker.
His case strengthened last week with two more goals against RB Leipzig and Nottingham Forest, meaning he’s now netted in each of his last three appearances.
Those goals put him as a close second in the Villa goalscoring charts, with six PL goals and 11 across all competitions now.
Duran scored a superb strike in the last meeting between these two and will be chomping at the bit to make an impact.
Tip 2
Duran impressed when deputising for Watkins last week and is a reliable source for shots and shots on target, especially when being given the chance to start.
The Colombian has hit this line three times this term, including in two of the last three games, despite being largely reduced to cameo appearances from the bench all season.
City are a wounded animal right now and that is only set to further unleash the devastating Jhon Duran we’ve come to know.
Aston Villa Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Villa were on either end of two dramatic wins last week – first narrowly overcoming RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday before two late strikes at the City Ground allowed Nottingham Forest to take maximum points in last Saturday’s 5:30pm televised game.
A minor injury to Ollie Watkins could see Jhon Duran retain his place as the spearhead of the home side’s attack. Leon Bailey and Tyrone Mings could return to the fray, however, Jacob Ramsey remains sidelined.
Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; Cash, Rogers, McGinn; Duran.
Man City Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
City’s miserable slump continued, first with a 2-0 defeat in Turin to Juventus on European duties before a collapse in their Manchester derby last Sunday.
Pep’s side also have a few absentees, with long-term absentees Rodri and Oscar Bobb joined by Nathan Ake on the treatment table.
Man City Predicted XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis; Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku; Haaland.
