Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
This match screams goals, and the numbers are impossible to ignore. Manchester City have found the net in 14 of their 16 league matches at the Etihad this season—unsurprising for a team with that much attacking flair. But their backline has looked like a patchwork quilt. Only four clean sheets at home, and two of those came against goal-shy outfits like Leicester and Southampton. That hardly inspires confidence.
Villa, on the other hand, have gone from tidy underdogs to swashbuckling entertainers. They’re top of the charts for non-penalty xG and expected points over the last four games, averaging almost two expected goals per game. And they’ve not just done it against weak teams—PSG, Newcastle, even at Anfield—they’ve attacked fearlessly. Defensively? A little more wobbly. But that just adds to the chaos we’re predicting.
This isn’t going to be a slow burner. It feels more like one of those end-to-end cup ties from years ago—basketball with boots.

Morgan Rogers to Score
The man who sparked Villa’s win over City earlier in the season could be the thorn in their side again. Morgan Rogers has developed into one of Emery’s most pivotal forwards. He not only provided the assist but also netted the winner in the reverse fixture. With 25 goal contributions this season and six direct involvements in his last six games, his numbers back up the eye test.
City’s makeshift defence is hardly watertight, and with full-backs often pushing high, the space will be there. Rogers doesn’t need many touches to punish—he’s a one-man ambush waiting to happen.

36/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning A fiery fixture awaits at the Etihad, and our Bet Builder blends goals, shots and discipline perfectly. With City vulnerable at the back and Villa attacking with real intent, expect both to score. Marmoush and Rogers provide attacking threat, while Tielemans' fouling tendencies complete a well-balanced, high-value combination bet.

Omar Marmoush – 2+ Shots on Target
Since arriving in January, Omar Marmoush has emerged as City’s most consistent attacking outlet in Haaland’s absence. The Egyptian forward has fired 12 shots on target in his last five matches, and he’s hit the mark with at least two in four of those.
His movement is clever, his finishing clinical, and against a Villa side known to leave gaps when pushing forward, he should see plenty of chances to work the keeper again. Expect him to be the focal point once more.
Youri Tielemans to Be Carded
Villa’s midfield general has racked up the fouls all season, and Tielemans rarely avoids confrontation. With 52 fouls in total and an average of 1.66 per 90 minutes, he’s always involved in the gritty side of the game.
In matches where pressure is high and margins are tight, tempers flare—and Tielemans is no stranger to a late tackle or two. With City’s fluid midfield likely to test his discipline, the Belgian is a prime contender for a booking.
