Manchester City vs Aston Villa Bet Builder Tips: Sunday May 22nd

I’ve gone for a Sunday afternoon bet builder at odds of 9.00, as Manchester City play host to Aston Villa and with Pep Guardiola’s men just 90 minutes from Premier League glory, they will now look to get over the line at the Etihad.

Because although Liverpool managed to keep the title race alive on Tuesday night, City’s destiny is very much in their own hands and regardless of what the Merseyside outfit do on Sunday, a win for the current league leaders is all that is required.

Complete that part of the equation and a fourth Premier League crown will end up in Guardiola’s possession and with this accolade, he will be the most successful non-British manager in the competition’s history.

Of course, records such as these for the former Barcelona and Bayern boss are rather immaterial and all the Spaniard will care about is making sure his players deliver the objective that they have been set before the weekend.

Then again, the final day of the Premier League campaign is never without drama and although the scriptwriters have fashioned some incredible plotlines over the years, there is one draft that could soon come to life.

Because with Steven Gerrard now firmly in the Aston Villa hotseat, the legion of Liverpool supporters that used to adore him during the previous decade, will now hope that one of their own can do them the biggest favour of all.

Although Villa start the weekend lying 14th in the table, the middle bracket of the standings is incredibly congested and with a top-ten finish still up for grabs, the West Midlands outfit are not done just yet.

Especially as Gerrard rested both Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings on Thursday night and with a full-strength side primed and ready to play the role of spoilers, Liverpool supporters will also be keeping a keen eye on events elsewhere.

Ultimately, neutrals will be hoping that interest levels are high from minute one to minute 90 and therefore, backing Villa to score first on Sunday may be worth your consideration – especially when it is currently priced at odds of 5.50.

While for those who feel that even if Villa score first, it will only awaken the City beast, there is the over/under market to consider and with 3.5 in total being priced at odds of 2.20, that should also be worth some heavy consideration.

• Phil Foden to score anytime
• Both teams to score
• Over 11 total corners
• No red card in the match

Bet Builder is available at 9.00 Odds.

Before Sunday’s Premier League clash, I have focused on goals, and I have a hunch that Phil Foden will score anytime as both teams also find the net. Add 12 or more corners to go alongside no red card being shown for either team and this my final day bet builder.

Odds via bet365. Correct as at 11:45 on 20th May 2022. Odds may now differ.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?

A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
