Manchester City and Aston Villa are both fighting for a top-four finish and the two sides will collide in an English Premier League showdown on Tuesday. Man City (17-7-9) are coming off a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday, while Aston Villa cruised to an impressive 4-1 victory over Newcastle that same day. The Villans won the reverse fixture, 2-1, on Dec. 21. Aston Villa have won two of the last three meetings against Man City, but the Villans haven’t been victorious at the Etihad in Premier League play since 2007.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England. Man City are -115 favorites (risk $115 to win $100) in the latest Manchester City vs. Aston Villa odds from DraftKings Sportsbook. Aston Villa are +280 underdogs, a draw is priced at +310, and the over/under for total match goals is 3.5. Before locking in any Man City vs. Aston Villa picks, you need to see what proven SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green has to say.
Last year, Green was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units). The EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others. Anyone who follows him could be way up. Here are Green’s top EPL picks and predictions for the Manchester City vs. Aston Villa match on Tuesday:
Aston Villa +0.75 (-125)
Aston Villa will be full of confidence heading into Tuesday’s away fixture. The Villans have won five consecutive league games, and they’ve kept a clean sheet in each of their past three away matches in the Premier League. Aston Villa have also scored three or more goals in six of their past eight matches across all competitions.
“Aston Villa are currently on a five-game winning streak in the Premier League,” Green noted. “They beat Newcastle 4-1 at the weekend, so they will be surging with confidence, and they could cause plenty of problems for this lackluster Man City team.”
BTTS + Over 2.5 goals + Omar Marmoush over 0.5 shots on target (+108)
The Citizens feature one of the league’s most potent scoring attacks. Pep Guardiola’s men have scored 64 goals across 33 matches, the second-most in the Premier League. Forward Omar Marmoush has 10 Premier League starts under his belt for Man City, recording six goals on 32 shots. He’s scored a goal in three of his last five league games and has recorded at least one shot on target in each of his past five Premier League matches.
Aston Villa have also been effective in the attacking third, scoring 10 goals in their last three matches across all competitions. Over 2.5 goals have also been scored in six of the last eight meetings between these two clubs in league play, a trend Green is backing to continue on Tuesday.

<!--> [--> Deesha Thosar MLB Writer <!--> --> NEW YORK – The New York Yankees should give their fans a refund. Loyal, paying customers showed up on Saturday in the Bronx to support the Yankees in a pennant race. Then, they watched them get humiliated by the ever-hated Boston Red Sox. Their division rivals were hungrier, savvier, quicker, and playing with the type of urgency that the Yankees have failed to show, time and time again. Loud and angry boos rained down on 161st Street, as the crowd of 45,512 voiced its displeasure at wasting a warm and sunny, summer weekend afternoon watching a Yankees team surrender instead of making a statement.A game that started out with the New York bats being over-matched by Boston ace Garrett Crochet ended in a disastrous 12-1 blowout that marked the Yankees’ eighth consecutive loss against […]

Bay FC set NWSL attendance record: 40,091 take in clash vs. Washington Spirit at MLB’s Oracle Park
Getty Images The NWSL celebrated a new attendance record on Saturday with a sellout crowd of 40,091 at MLB's Oracle Park as Bay FC hosted the Washington Spirit. It is the second attendance record that Bay FC is a part of after being part of last year's then-record attendance (35,038) at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Bay were spoilers of the marquee matchup last year during their inaugural season and are now the sole owners of the highest attended match in NWSL history. The visitors won 3-2, with goals by Kate Wiesner and Croix Bethune. "Breaking the NWSL attendance record is a historic moment that extends far beyond a single match. It represents the foundation we are building at Bay FC and the legacy we hope to leave for future generations of players and fans. By pushing boundaries today, we are shaping what women's football will look […]
Where do Saints stand at QB after Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough finish preseason? Nowhere, it seems
Before Derek Carr abruptly retired this offseason, the New Orleans Saints were already angling toward a reset at quarterback. There were rumors, after all, of a potential Carr trade, and even after new coach Kellen Moore bore witness to the veteran restructuring his contract to stay put, the overhauled staff's endorsements of Carr were tepid at best. Change was due.The new hope arrived on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, when Moore and Co. handpicked Tyler Shough, of all prospects, to be the next potential face of the franchise. No matter that Shough was already 25 years old -- soon to be 26 now -- and fresh off a college career that ran seven -- that's right, seven -- seasons due primarily to a litany of injuries. At least he was something different.Except, at the dawn of the 2025 […]
