Manchester City will host Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday as they remain focused on not disrupting their current form. The reigning Premier League champions come into this match with four wins and two draws from their last six matches across all competitions.
Currently placed fourth in the league standings, Manchester City are trying to give in their best to ensure a spot in next season's Champions League. With rivals like Chelsea and Newcastle United breathing down their necks, Pep Guardiola's team can't afford to make even a small and jeopardize things at this crucial juncture of the campaign and will be desperate to secure all three points.
Manchester City Dreaming Big

Brimming with confidence, the visitors will be aiming to spring a surprise on Manchester City. With a squad capable of threatening any top side, Villa will be looking to take advantage of any lapse from the hosts — who will need to be at the top of their game to claim a much-needed win.
