Aston Villa will have their sternest test under Steven Gerrard in the Premier League when they get to host Manchester City in their next game. The hosts go to this game placed 13th with 16 points and face a City side on 29 points, in second place. Villa have two straight wins since the appointment of Gerrard; their most recent coming at Crystal Palace. Now that the winning run is in and the confidence is definitely back, they will have the defence to work on. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in seven matches and in their last five matches, both teams have scored in three. Aston Villa have failed to score in just one of their last five matches.

Manchester City are coming from a fifth straight win after their 2-1 win over West Ham United at home. That was their third straight game, and win, at home but they haven’t struggled a lot away from home either. In their last five matches across all competitions, City have two clean sheets and both sides have scored in three, with four of the five producing over 2.5 goals. Against West Ham, they were on course to a comfortable win and clean sheet, until Manuel Lanzini stunned them with a fine strike in the final minute. That was the sixth time in 10 matches that they failed to keep a clean sheet and in Villa’s form, this could continue here.
