Manchester City vs Aston Villa
English Premier League, 16h00
This is a game for the last UCL qualifying spot, a battle that also includes Tottenham. The three of them have not took part in Europe's elite competition since its rebranding in 1993.
These two have met 154 times in the English top-flight, with Villa winning only 2 of the last 14 games. That should be a boost for City who also play at their home stadium. The reverse fixture ended 1-1.
Villa have picked up 13 points of a possible 15 since being thrashed 7-1 at Chelsea. City have not scored in the last two games after scoring 11 in the previous two.
I tip the home side to win it, at 4/5.
