Guardiola has confirm some players will out from the game against villa. IMO, this could be considered as a serious consideration for bookmakaers caused by city is gonna face villa without weaker squad as some important players will be missing this game. The odds is pretty small for this match.
I don't mind arsenal and liverpool caused by they are all gonna have easy fixtures. The match against aston villa considerably difficult for manchester city.

Bookies should give higher odds considering the city will be missing some players. A bit strange to see how bookmakers considering villa is in the same level as mediocre club based on the current odds.
Bookmakers strongly believe if they can beat villa but i have opposite opinion. Villa is quite strong even though it was no at its peak performance.

The current odds put city superior compared to the villa.

This is going to be a very tough match for Aston Villa. I think now it is going to be almost impossible for them to stay at the top of the table. At least at the top four positions for sure. Manchester City is definitely not going to drop points in this match because they have dropped points in the last two matches. And they will be very determined to get all three points from this match. But Aston Villa has to be careful. They cannot go too defensive or too offensive as well. It seems like all the options that they have are going to be pretty bad. I think they will have to go for a draw and somehow try to avoid a loss.
