Manchester City vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview

Unai Emery's triumphant Lions celebrated their silverware in some style. At the time of writing, they still are. With a pot in the cabinet and a Champions League place earned twice over, today's visit to the Etihad Stadium isn't likely to be the same rip-roaring affair that saw them beat Liverpool nine days ago.

Luckily for Arsenal, the visitors' lack of incentive can't do them any damage in a title race that ended the night before Villa's trophy drought. There's no predicting how the hyper-professional Emery will set his stall out against Man City but you don't beat them unless you really want to.

City have a big occasion of their own to enjoy, albeit with a touch of sadness to go with it. Having missed out on the Premier League title, the two domestic cup competitions now stand as Pep Guardiola's last two trophies in England.

This will be the Catalan's final game in charge of Man City, on familiar turf and in front of fans who will wave him off over the horizon in the belief that he built he modern version of their club.

Guardiola has won 15 serious trophies and a bunch of other stuff in his time as a Premier League manager, a significant return for a decade in the job. Missing out on the title might smart in the short-term but it won't detract from Guardiola's send-off.

For what it's worth, Matty Cash scored the only goal of the reverse fixture at the end of October as Villa began to soar for a couple of months.

Villa have won their last three home games against Man City but they've lost their last 15 Premier League matches at the Etihad Stadium. Even with nothing tangible at stake, it's difficult to see City letting go of that particular record this afternoon.
