Manchester City desperately need to get back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa. Opta weighs up their chances.

"The Villans have scored just five goals in the last 10 Premier League road trips."

Manchester City are 1.845/6 to win to nil.

Sergio Agüero has scored four goals in his last three Premier League matches against Aston Villa. Aguero is 1.695/7 to score.

However, Agüero has scored just one goal in eight Premier League appearances in the month of March, despite playing 606 minutes. Under 2.5 goals is 2.6213/8.

Manchester City have won seven and lost just one of the last nine Premier League games against Aston Villa. They are 1.222/9 to win.

Villa have failed to score in six of the last eight Premier League games against Man City. The home side are 1.645/8 to keep a clean sheet.

If the league had started on the weekend of 7/8 November when Remi Garde first took charge in a 0-0 draw v Man City, Aston Villa would still be bottom and Man City would be 12th. The underperforming sides are 7.87/1 to draw.

Manchester City haven't lost three Premier League home games in a row since March 2007 and haven't gone three home games without a win since November 2010. They are 1.715/7 to get back to winning ways with a half-time/full-time victory.

Aston Villa have taken just three points from a possible 39 in their last 13 Premier League away games. They are just 1.031/33 to finish rock bottom.

The Villans have scored just five goals in the last 10 Premier League road trips. Manchester City are 1.845/6 to win to nil.

Defeat in this match would be a 14th consecutive winless game away from home for Villa in the Premier League, one short of their record in the competition set in December 2003 (15). The draw half-time/Manchester City full-time double result is 4.77/2.
