Manchester City, led by their Spanish Head Coach Pep Guardiola, is set to take on an Aston Villa side led by another Spanish Head Coach, Unai Emery, at the Etihad Stadium in the 2024/25 Premier League season. The Cityzens want to make more history this season with an unprecedented fifth consecutive English top-flight league title.

On 1 February 2016, Pep Guardiola became City’s latest Manager, succeeding Manuel Pellegrini. Guardiola took over ahead of the 2016/17 season, and his appointment at the club followed very successful tenures with Spanish Giants FC Barcelona and German Bundesliga heavyweights FC Bayern Munich from 2008 to 2016.

Since Pep took over, City have won the majority of the top-flight titles. However, in his first season in England, his side snuck into the following season’s UEFA Champions League after a third-place finish, which saw them finish with a gap of just three points between themselves and Arsenal in fifth place.

As mentioned, success and trophies have been frequent since then, and he has won the following trophies as of the time of writing – 6 Premier League titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23 & 2023/24), 2 FA Cups (2018/19 & 2022/23), 4 League Cups (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 & 2020/21), 2 FA Community Shields (2018 & 2019), 1 UEFA Champions League (2022/23), 1 UEFA Super Cup (2023) and 1 FIFA Club World Cup (2023).

Last season, City got 91 points, finishing with a narrow margin of 2 points between themselves and runners-up Arsenal.

It would be no surprise to anyone in the football world if Pep Guardiola and Manchester City added to this haul of trophies in the 2024/25 season, with the club participating in the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the UEFA Champions League once more.

In the 7 seasons after his first one in charge, City were centurions with 100 points in the 2017/18 season, and in four of these seasons, the Cityzens did not finish with less than 90 points to their name.

Moving on to Aston Villa, Unai Emery has been in charge since his appointment back in November 2022, following a heavy 3 – 0 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Spaniard took them from 16th to 7th with 61 points to qualify for the 2023/24 UEFA Europa Conference League.

While they were knocked out by the eventual winners Olympiacos in their two-legged Semi-Final tie, the Villa still managed to finish in an extraordinary fourth place with a total of 68 points to their name, securing 2024/25 UEFA Champions League Football.

These two clubs have come face to face in a competitive fixture in all competitions on a total of 181 occasions, and it is the Cityzens who have the superior record of 81 victories compared to the Villa’s total of 58 so far. And, as of the time of writing, there have been 42 draws in total between these two teams.

Manchester City and Aston Villa are set to go toe to toe at the Etihad Stadium in the 2024/25 Premier League season. This game is set to be competitive and enthralling with a brilliant atmosphere to boot at the Etihad.
