Manchester City v Aston Villa: match preview

So it all comes down to 90 minutes of football to decide if Manchester City retain the championship for a second time in their history and for a second time under Pep Guardiola – if they beat Aston Villa. The visitors are managed by Steven Gerrard who, given his Liverpool loyalties, will surely celebrate a little more if his team beat Pep Guardiola’s and Jürgen Klopp’s side defeat Wolves to take the title.
