Manchester City vs Aston Villa – Premier League 2025/26

Manchester City vs Aston Villa pairs two historic English clubs whose Premier League trajectories have sharply diverged in recent years. While Villa have improved under Unai Emery, it’s City who have dominated this fixture, especially in home matches at the Etihad.

City’s record against Villa in the Premier League at home has been particularly strong. As of May 2025, they’ve won 12 of their last 13 league meetings at the Etihad, often by multiple-goal margins. Villa last won a league game away at City in 2007, and despite recent improvements in their squad and form, City’s dominance in this fixture remains firm.

The 2025/26 fixture will test Villa’s European ambitions against one of the division’s most tactically advanced sides. With City eyeing another title push and Villa seeking consistency in the top six, this is a meeting of form, firepower, and contrasting ambitions.
