With so much of the media’s attention focused on tomorrow’s Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, it’s easy to forget about today’s important Premier League match between Aston Villa and Manchester City.

Manchester City has an opportunity to close the gap from 15 points to 12 today, while Aston Villa needs the minimum of a draw to move out of the relegation zone. Villa manager Paul Lambert is playing a good game in the media, saying that his team does not fear the relegation battle. I will say, though, that Aston Villa will be no walkover today for City.
