20 is too big for any team in a premier league game shirley?
This is not 'vitage Barca' vs some no mark La Liga table prop.
Gone for the away win here with a little on the draw.
A selection of recent Man City home games:
2 -2 v Sunderland (last minute goalkeeper error or would have been away win)
1-2 v Wigan
1-0 v Stoke
0-1 v Chelsea
Even the recent wins v West Brom (3-1) and Southampton (4-1) were not exactly routine, especially the latter which the ref hand a big hand in.
I think too many backers are relying on the 'they need to win therefore will win' mentality which is dangerous.
More that happy to take this bet on at the prices offered.
Thoughts?

I understand the 'no team should be 20s' argument but I find it hard to make a case for Villa to win. City might not win by a big margin without Aguero and Silva not 100% as they can look a bit one dimensional without them, but I don't expect Villa to trouble to them.
The cliche about teams that have escaped relegation have the freedom to play is a bit of a myth. More often than not they're so relieved to be safe they've got nothing left to lift them, especially for the amount of defensive work they'll need to put in away to a title chasing team. |

villa have looked good on a few occasions this year but mostly awful but 20s is probably worth a small bet

Away win price backed in to 18.0
Still too big. Glad I got 20 though. I'm thinking 12 is about right but it will not go that low. Massive trading potential at 20. Will only drift if Citeh score first. |

By:
yes, but Villa are poor enough WITH Benteke and Agbonlahor, and neither may play tonight, so you're looking at a front two of Weimann and Albrighton, hardly intimidating. I like Berto's comment about relegation sides and nothing to lift them, look at WBA at Arsenal at the weekend.

"Although Villa Lost 2-1 to Chelsea, Lost 1-2 to Arsenal and Lost 0-1 to Liverpool, The fact Villa Lost those Meetings against 3 of Top 4 this Season by just 1 Goal margin, Shows they turn-up when Playing Top 4 Teams in League, As shown when Beating MAN CITY with 3-2 Scoreline in Last Meeting in September.
Most notable though is in reverse Meetings Villa took 3 Wins and 1 Draw against those Top 4 Opposition, With Villa beating 3 of Top 4 this Season, Beating Arsenal 1-3 in August, Beating Man City 3-2 in September, Having Drawn 2-2 against Liverpool in January and most recently beat Chelsea 1-0 in March, A Chelsea Team that have already beaten Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City this Season. So with Villa's Performance's shown against Top 4 this Season, Villa could very well take yet another scalp like Last Meeting, And with Villa safe they're free to Play own Game, And with looking at Man City's fragile Defense shown in Last 5 League Games keeping just 1 Clean Sheet and Conceeding at least 2 Goals in 3 of those 5 Games, Villa Win looks possible.

I think it's fair to say this will be City battering Aston Villa somehow on a great night. Because Aston Villa... well we'll do it alright... But come on... They are only gonna play with medium skill football and get walked over in the park... BUT I MUST SAY COME ON VILLA. I don't think I'm betting on it. Was tempted to put £60 to regain some losses. But it ain't happening I suppose. If anyone professional played for Aston Villa right now... they'd be in a very nervy tricky situation to fight this pride to the fullest and beat Man City. Man City -1 is really the bet I reckon... even -2??? But Aston Villa is the best bet for almighty believers. Good Luck all Aston Villa bettors. Man City are gassed.

Jordan Bowery starts. from what I've seen, this guy may be the worse player to ever play in the Prem, including Ali Dia. City backers/Liverpool fans should probably rejoice/despair. think he came on at the weekend and scored an own goal
