BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton said: "Villa just seem to be a different proposition at home, but I think you write City off at your peril.
"They were sloppy defensively against Tottenham on Sunday, but they are still extremely dangerous when they attack."
Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
For this week's midweek games, he takes on CBeebies presenter Rhys Stephenson, who supports Arsenal.
You can see Rhys on the big screen in the new CBeebies Christmas Panto, Robin Hood, which is in UK cinemas now and features your favourite CBeebies stars.
