Manchester City hosts Aston Villa in high-stakes Premier League battle at the Etihad as title hopes hang in the balance

All Set at the Etihad: City Look to Keep the Pressure On

Manchester City welcomes Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium in what could be a crucial moment in the title race.

With Pep Guardiola’s men chasing down the league leaders, every point counts — especially at home.

City have been in relentless form, but Villa won’t be pushovers.

Unai Emery’s side has had a strong season and will be out to make a statement.

What to Expect: Goals, Possession, and Tactical Chess
