S.P. Read Esq: Aston Villa v Man City
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P.Read Esq. looks ahead to the 5.30pm Premier League game ASTON VILLA v MAN CITY and finds the best opportunity available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
A busy sporting weekend – and on Sunday I’ll be having a look at the Arc at Longchamp.
But for Saturday it’s the teatime clash at Villa Park.
The stats all point towards the defending champions in the 5.30pm kick off. Villa have only beaten City twice in their last 11 meetings.
City have taken seven points from three away league games this season whereas the Villains come into this on the back of successive 3-0 defeats at the hands of Chelsea and Arsenal. However, they did beat Liverpool at Anfield last month and considering their tough fixture list have made a bright start to the new season in sixth place in the table.

Man City are currently in third place in the table and are not quite firing on all cylinders.
Since losing the season opening Community Shield against Arsenal, City suffered a shock defeat at home to Stoke and have been held to draws by both Arsenal and Chelsea.
Their form in Europe in the Champions League has also come under a little pressure. They lost their first Group game to Bayern and this week failed to hold on to their early lead against Roma with the match finishing 1-1.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side look too short for this match and I think there’s some value in selling their supremacy at around 1.1 with Star Spreads.
