On October 26, in the ninth round of the Premier League, Aston Villa and Manchester City will play each other. The match will start at 16:00 Kyiv time.
Aston Villa
The Birmingham team had a difficult start to the championship, the team went on a five-match winless streak, picking up just three points during that period. Aston Villa was able to wake up in time, issuing a series of three consecutive victories. Now the club is in the middle of the tournament table, but the lag behind the first quartet is only 4 points. In the last round, Emery’s wards were able to beat strong Tottenham on the road with a score of 2:1.
This week, the team somehow inexplicably lost away to Go Ahead Igrs, and if you look at the statistics, “Villa” had a big advantage. Even with such a failure, the club remains among the main contenders for victory in the tournament.
Manchester City
“Towns” also started uncertainly, but were able to correct their situation, now they are third in the Premier League, three points behind the leader. In the last round, Mancity dealt with Everton on their field – 2:0. Thus, the unbeaten streak of Guardiola’s wards has reached nine matches.
This week, the team played in the Champions League, where they were able to beat Villarreal 2-0 away. In this tournament, the “townsmen” are doing well, they managed to score 7 points in three tournaments. The team has clearly regained its former confidence, when these guys are on they are capable of winning many trophies.
