Manchester City vs Aston Villa Prediction

Manchester City might have nothing to play for on the final day of the season, but they will still want to end on a positive note in front of their own fans. The Europa League champions provide the opposition this Sunday, and with Champions League football secured, Aston Villa are under no pressure to perform in their final match.

In recent seasons, these two sides have both won their home games against the other, with this being the case in the last six meetings between the pair. Both teams have scored in eight of the last 10 league meetings between City and Villa, which includes their last four encounters at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City have won each of those matches.

The Citizens are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions, picking up nine wins in the process, while Aston Villa have lost three times in their last seven outings.

Both teams have scored in seven of Aston Villa's last nine outings in the Premier League, and Manchester City have scored exactly three goals in three of their last four league games.

Erling Haaland looks set ot end the season as the Premier League's top goalscorer once again. The Norwegian striker has found the back of the net 27 times in total, averaging 0.41 goals to shots on target (not including penalties). Haaland heads into the final game of the season having scored in each of his last five league games.

Manchester City 3-1 Aston Villa
