城市’；安静的复出
曼彻斯特城；8月输给热刺和布莱顿的比赛与他们上赛季中期的挣扎是一致的。佩普·瓜迪奥拉；阿森纳队很早就放慢了节奏，但联赛中五场胜利中的四场胜利让他们成为了阿森纳队；最大的挑战者。
曼城排在第二位，他们更保守的打法给市民带来了一些稳定。瓜迪奥拉’；本周，中国队在欧冠联赛中也常规战胜了比利亚雷亚尔，在欧洲的前三场比赛中获得了7分。
自9月初以来，曼城已经赢得了9场比赛中的7场，两场平局。他们没有；他们没有把对手赶走，但他们；我们肯定会恢复他们的恐惧因素。
很难与哈兰德打赌
城市’；他的回归基本的方法使他们比以往任何时候都更依赖埃尔林·哈兰德，但前锋是以他的生活形式出现的。他没有；t连续12场比赛没有为俱乐部或国家队进球，而他；s在25/26赛季的14场比赛中攻入24球。
仅在英超联赛中，哈兰德就在8场比赛中得分11次，占本赛季总得分的65%。他’；他们在客场的表现更为重要，在七个客场联赛进球中打进了五个。
尽管哈兰德的状态令人难以置信，但他已经接近扳平比分，可以继续得分。而他；他只在维拉公园的三次访问中的一次中找到了网，他；鉴于他出色的状态，很难对抗。
城市对维拉来说太强大了
周四，阿斯顿维拉队以2比1的比分出人意料地输给了荷兰队的老鹰队，而他们最近五场比赛的胜利是在一些令人担忧的xG数字的情况下取得的。
维拉在战胜托特纳姆热刺的比赛中只创造了0.3×G的成绩，而在战胜费耶诺德的比赛中，他们被全面击败，在×G的比赛中以1.5比0.6输掉了比赛。
在周四扭转局面的过程中，维拉本赛季第三次创造了比对手更多的xG。考虑到哈兰德的表现；如果他们丢的机会比创造的机会多，他们很难看到任何希望。曼城在两个盒子里都表现出色，支持他们获得全部三分。
- City have won seven of their last nine matches in all competitions
- Villa’s 2-1 loss to Go Ahead Eagles was only the third time this term in which they’ve won the xG battle
- Haaland has scored in 12 consecutive games for club and country
- The forward has scored 65% of City’s league goals, including five of their seven away strikes
City’s quiet comeback
Manchester City’s defeats against Tottenham and Brighton in August were in line with their struggles in the middle of last term. Pep Guardiola’s side fell off the pace early, but an understated four wins from five in the league has made them Arsenal’s biggest challengers.
Man City are into second, with their more reserved style of play bringing some stability to the Citizens. Guardiola’s side also secured a routine win over Villarreal in the Champions League this week, taking them onto seven points from their first three games in Europe.
City have won seven of nine games since the start of September, drawing twice. They haven’t been blowing opponents away, but they’re certainly restoring their fear factor.
Hard to bet against Haaland
City’s back-to-basics approach has led to them leaning on Erling Haaland more than ever, but the forward is in the form of his life. He hasn’t failed to score for club or country in 12 consecutive games, while he’s netted 24 goals in 14 appearances in 25/26.
In the Premier League alone, Haaland has scored 11 times in eight matches, which is 65% of their total this term. He’s been even more important on the road, scoring five of their seven away league goals.
Despite his incredible form, Haaland is close to evens to continue his scoring run. While he’s only found the net in one of three visits to Villa Park, he’s tough to oppose given his excellent form.
City to prove too strong for Villa
Aston Villa fell to a surprise 2-1 defeat against Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday, while their recent five-game winning run came in spite of some concerning xG numbers.
Villa created just 0.3 xG in their win at Tottenham, while they were comprehensively outplayed in a win at Feyenoord, losing the xG battle 1.5 to 0.6.
In their push to turn things around on Thursday, Villa generated more xG than their opponents for only the third time this season. Given how well Haaland is playing, it’s hard to see any hope for them if they concede more chances than they create. With City excelling in both boxes, back them to secure all three points.
