Manchester City have won 19 of their last 20 Premier League home games against Aston Villa, winning each of the last 15 since a 2-0 loss in April 2007.

Aston Villa have won three of their last five Premier League games against Man City (L2), and are looking to complete the league double over the Citizens for the first time since 1962-63.

Man City have won their final league match in eight of their nine seasons under Pep Guardiola, losing the other at Brentford in 2022-23. The Citizens have won their last six when finishing the season at home since a 3-2 loss to Norwich City in 2012-13.

Aston Villa have lost their final Premier League match of the season more often than any other side (16), including a 3-2 loss at Manchester City in 2021-22.

When playing their final league match of the season away from home, Aston Villa have won just one of their last 27 games (D7 L19), and are winless in 13 since a 3-1 win at Chelsea in 2001-02.

Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games (W10 D5) since a 2-0 loss to Manchester United in January. Only in 2023-24 have they had a longer unbeaten run at the end of a Premier League campaign (last 23).

Manchester City have conceded the first goal in a league-low six different Premier League games this season, but have only gone on to avoid defeat in two of those (1-1 v Bournemouth, 2-1 v Liverpool).

Following their 4-2 win against Liverpool last time out, Aston Villa are looking to win consecutive Premier League games for the first time since a run of eight in November/December.

With 27 goals already, Man City’s Erling Haaland is likely to win his third Premier League golden boot in four seasons in the competition. He would be the fifth player to win the award as many times, after Thierry Henry (4), Mohamed Salah (4), Alan Shearer (3) and Harry Kane (3).

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins has been involved in eight goals in his last nine Premier League appearances (6 goals, 2 assists), just one fewer than in his first 29 this season (8 goals, 1 assist).
