Man City's next game against Villa (away) won't be an easy one, but I don't subscribe to the opinion that they will surely lose.
The City are still the bookies' favourite with odds of x2.08, while the odds for Villa are x3.25, and it sounds about right.
Even though they have clear performance problems, it's not like they are losing every game. Let's not forget they defeated Nottm Forest quite easily 3-0 and Forest are doing better in the league than Villa. And even in the failed games, Man City were often the dominating side but bit down on their luck in converting chances to goals.
