Man City v Aston Villa
Late May brings a strong final-day test as Manchester City host Aston Villa at the Etihad on Sunday 24 May 2026. City have generally had the upper hand in this fixture over time, but Villa have made it far less comfortable in recent seasons, winning three of the last five league meetings, including a 1-0 home win in October 2025. That recent edge gives this one more bite than a typical last-day home game and makes it feel like a fixture that could still swing on small moments.
What makes it interesting is the contrast in the matchup. City at the Etihad usually control territory, chances and tempo, while Villa have shown they can be disciplined, aggressive and clinical enough to punish them. Add in the fact that this is the last Premier League game of the season, and it has the ingredients for a big occasion - a strong opponent, recent history between the sides, and a match that should feel competitive right to the end.
On Monday we head back to the ground, where you can Immerse yourself in the City story on the Manchester City Stadium Tour and visit areas of the Stadium not usually available to the public.
