Along with the club&rsquo;s ambitions for securing a trophy, City are focussed on the league front as well, as they would want to grasp a Champions League spot for the next season, currently sitting fourth with 58 points from 33 matches.<\/p><p>Ederson is nursing a groin injury and will miss out on a second consecutive fixture, as Stefan Ortega will continue to deputise for the Brazilian shot-stopper. Both Rodri and Nathan Ake are ruled out for the rest of the season, while Erling Haaland and John Stones will also miss the next few fixtures for the Cityzens. On a positive note, Manuel Akanji made his first appearance since February 11 in the 2-0 win against Everton and is likely to feature for more minutes against Villa. <\/p><p><strong>Predicted Starting XI: <\/strong>Ortega; Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, O&rsquo;Reilly; Kovacic, De Bruyne; McAtee, Foden, Doku; Marmoush<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aston Villa<\/h3><p>The Villans are on a roll, as was showcased in the 4-1 win against Newcastle United, where Ollie Watkins scored in the first minute of the match, Villa&rsquo;s first PL goal in the first minute since they last netted in the first minute against Manchester City in April 2021. Emery&rsquo;s men are a strong contender for a Champions League spot for next season as they currently sit in seventh position with 57 points from 33 matches and haven&rsquo;t lost any match in their last 11 matches in all competitions, except the away leg against Paris St. Germain in the Champions League.<\/p><p>Ross Barkley was welcomed back into the mix as a substitute in the 4-1 win against the Magpies, and Leon Bailey is also fit and available, but the forward was left out of the squad to face Eddie Howe&rsquo;s men. Centre-back Pau Torres is nursing a minor issue and won&rsquo;t be travelling to Manchester with the rest of the squad.<\/p><p><strong>Predicted Starting XI: <\/strong>Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; Onana, Tielemans; McGinn, Rogers, Rashford; Watkins<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City vs Aston Villa Under\/Over Predictions<\/h2><p>The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game.

Guardiola&rsquo;s men will be tasked with stopping the juggernaut that seems impossible to even slow down at this point in the season, and Rashford would especially be extra motivated to find the back of the net against his parent club&rsquo;s cross-town rivals.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City vs Aston Villa Player Picks<\/h2><p><strong>Phil Foden (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.betmgm.co.uk\/sports#event\/1023357659\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>To Score a Goal @ +180 as per MGM Bet<\/a>): <\/strong>Phil Foden has netted 10 goals and provided 6 assists across all competitions in the ongoing season, and the England international would like to inflict some damage on the Aston Villa defense.&nbsp;The 24-year old scored a hat-trick last season against Villa at the Etihad Stadium, and it is expected that he could add to that tally on Tuesday evening.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City vs Aston Villa Prediction<\/h2><p>Many fans and pundits would be backing Aston Villa, who are on a dream run in the league, but Manchester City could prove to be a tough opposition to face, considering their resurgence lately and the form of players breaking into the first team.<\/p><p><strong>Our Final Prediction: <\/strong>Villa should edge the contest by a 2-goal difference, we predict 1-3 as the final scoreline on Tuesday evening.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/manchester-united-second-favorites-for-uefa-europa-league-full-list-of-odds-for-all-teams-to-lift-the-trophy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Manchester United third favorites to win the 2024-25 Europa League: Full list of odds for all teams to win the title<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-global mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reigning Champions Manchester City might walk out at the Etihad Stadium as the reigning champions for the last time for a while as Pep Guardiola&rsquo;s men welcome Aston Villa to Manchester on Tuesday, April 23.
