Personal analysis: Manchester City's overall offensive efficiency has declined after Haaland's injury. De Bruyne's competitive state has declined in the center position and he is not very competent for the end point. Malmush has not fully adapted to the intensity of the Premier League game. He is slightly disadvantaged in the physical confrontation in the penalty area. He is more suitable for playing as a winger to create offensive opportunities. Savinho is also only good at passing the ball from the wing, which makes Manchester City's entire midfield and frontcourt have no particularly good end points to use. B 席 and Gundogan are slightly poor in handling the ball in motion. In the midfield position, when Kovacic is not on the court, the pressure on the back line is relatively large. Gundogan and Gonzalez are not intercepting defensive players. The team's defense is relatively reliable. With the recovery of Ake and Akanji, the team's defense will be further strengthened. At present, Gwadiol and Dias in the central defender position are still relatively reliable. Villa has changed its playing style this season due to the poor form of Watkins and Bailey. The team has greatly increased the high-pressure tactics in the frontcourt. This style of play is more effective when facing teams with poor ball handling or counterattack ability in the backcourt, but it is easy to suffer when encountering teams with strong counterattack speed. At present, Rogers and McGinn have a high proportion of ball-holding and offensive organization in the frontcourt, and both of them have good passing ability in motion. Tielemans, Kamara, and Onana have different focuses in the midfield position. The first two are stronger in through ball ability, and Onana is a defensive interception player. The two full-backs Cash and Mattson on the team's defense line both have certain offensive capabilities, but the wing defense will be slightly worse, and Konsa and Mings will be slightly average in the ability to compete for the top.

Manchester City's current lineup is similar to Villa's. Villa's offensive ability in positional warfare is weaker, while Manchester City is not bad in terms of tactical execution. The main problem of the team is the goal post, especially Villa's high-pressure pressing style is not very effective against Manchester City's defense. In particular, Gvardiol has been very stable and has done a good job in defense on the left and center. In this game, Manchester City's home game handicap of 0.5 goals is normal. It can be seen that Villa's big win in the last round did not increase its support. Lao Li believes that as long as the lineup is normal, Manchester City still has a relatively large chance of winning, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 3-1.
