Gabriel Agbonlahor has outshone Darren Bent at Aston Villa this season
Judging by these Opta trends, Gabriel Agbonlahor could be on the scoresheet and in the referee's notepad at the Etihad Stadium this weekend...
Gabriel Agbonlahor has scored in four of his last six Premier League appearances.
Agbonlahor has been booked in all three of his Premier League away appearances this season.
Aston Villa have posted the joint-worst shooting accuracy in the top flight, hitting the target with just 35% of their attempts.
Manchester City have scored more goals from outside the box than any other team this season (7).
Samir Nasri leads the Premier League with six goal assists this season.
The Villans have lost just one of their last 15 Premier League games (W6 D8 L1).
Manchester City have taken 28 from a possible 30 points in their last 10 Premier League matches and kept seven clean sheets in that run.
The Citizens have also won 12 and lost none of their last 13 Premier League home games, a run that started with a 4-0 win over Aston Villa, keeping 10 clean sheets.
Villa have won just four of their last 23 Premier League away games (W4 D8 L11), a run which started with a 1-3 defeat against Manchester City.
However, the Villans have lost just one of their last seven Premier League away games (W2 D4 L1) and are unbeaten in the last four.
Newcastle's stingy defence meets Tottenham's prolific attack on Sunday. Here's Opta's take on how that battle will unfold......
The Opta trends indicate that Arsenal will begin climbing the table with three points against Sunderland on Sunday, but don't expect a big scoreline......
The first few minutes could prove decisive in Sunday's grudge match at The Hawthorns, with the Baggies frequently flying out of the blocks of late......
Everton have a fine recent record against Chelsea, who have been uncharacteristically leaky at the back. Could there be a shock at Stamford Bridge?...
