Man City are about to part ways with Guardiola. |
After weeks of relentlessly chasing Arsenal in the Premier League title race, Manchester City have finally had to accept defeat. Nevertheless, the atmosphere at the Etihad this weekend will still be special.
Guardiola is preparing to conclude a glorious decade-long journey with Cityzens, culminating in 20 major and minor titles. The match against Aston Villa therefore holds the significance of a farewell for the greatest manager in the club's history. Not only Guardiola, but John Stones and Bernardo Silva are also expected to say goodbye to the team after this season.
Man City's form is still enough to give fans confidence. The Etihad Stadium side are currently on a 15-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, with 10 wins. Notably, they have won 19 of their last 20 home matches against Aston Villa, including a run of 15 consecutive wins against them at the Etihad.
However, Aston Villa certainly doesn't want to be the "guest" at Guardiola's farewell party. Unai Emery's side just made history by beating Freiburg 3-0 to win the Europa League, their first European title since 1982. Their 4-2 victory over Liverpool in the last round also showed Villa are in excellent form.
However, away form remains a major concern for the Birmingham side, as they haven't won in their last six away matches in the Premier League. Against a Manchester City side that always shines at the Etihad, Villa will have to work very hard if they want to spoil Pep Guardiola's farewell day.
