Aston Villa vs Man City LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Leon Bailey nets crucial winner

Aston Villa 1-0 Man City: Unai Emery’s men clinched a close encounter at Villa Park

I feel we will win 4th straight league title - Guardiola

Aston Villa take on Manchester City in a clash between two sides nearing the top of the Premier League table. Villa have won nine of their 14 league matches under Unai Emery this season and could jump ahead of City if they beat them at Villa Park tonight.

Forward Ollie Watkins has been in great touch scoring eight goals and the hosts will need his clinical touch if they are going to take points away from Pep Guardiola’s side.

Manchester City in contrast are going through something of a slump. A 3-3 draw against Tottenham was their third stalemate in a row meaning City are six points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Three points are a must for the reigning champions if they want to keep up the apce with the Gunners.
