Man City vs Aston Villa

Man City have won their last six matches at Maine Road - including their last two FA Cup ties on home soil - and should prove too strong for Aston Villa in their 5th Round replay on Tuesday evening.Stuart 'Psycho' Pearce has worked wonders with a City squad featuring a mix of young talent and seasoned stalwarts, and collectively they are making giant strides as a unit.Indeed, they score for fun at Maine Road. In their last six home games in all competitions, they have scored no less than fifteen times - that's an average of 2.5 goals per game. Pretty compelling stuff.Aston Villa's away record in the Premiership is by no means disgraceful. They've won four, drawn six and lost five. However, they were blown away when beaten 3-1 when playing City in Manchester in October and, although they are a more confident side now, I cannot envisage them getting anything from this game.Any caution that was prevalent in the original fixture will be forgotten in this replay. Indeed, caution will be thrown to the wind. City tend to start their matches brightly - backing Man City/Man City in the double result market would have paid dividends in their last four home starts - and, at 12/5 with Bluesq.com this looks a value bet to occur again.Since joining Pearce's charges, Greek international Georgios Samaras has scored three goals in four appearances and, given that totesport go just 4/1, backing him to be the first goalscorer at 6/1 with bet365 is well worth a couple of quid of anyone's money.
