Villa head to the Etihad Stadium hoping to keep up their record of scoring in every away game they have played this season, with trips to Man United, Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal particularly standing out.

City’s defensive record in their own stadium remains formidable, keeping clean sheets in six of their nine home league games this term, but there should be some interest in backing the visitors to net on Wednesday night.

Indeed, Guardiola’s men have conceded against the likes of West Brom, West Ham, Leeds, and Wolves, meaning that Villa will fancy themselves to be able to at least get on the scoresheet.
