Manchester City lost to Aston Villa (1-0) this Wednesday evening in the Premier League, while Manchester United returned to success against Chelsea (2-1).

Manchester City is in trouble. Unable to win a single Premier League match since November 4, the Citizens fell to Aston Villa (1-0) this Wednesday evening as part of the 15th day of the championship. Pep Guardiola’s men were surprised at the end of the match with a goal from Leon Bailey (74th).

The Skyblues thus come down from the podium, overtaken by their evening opponent. Unai Emery’s team also achieved a fourteenth league success in a row at Villa Park.

At the same time, Manchester United dominated Chelsea (2-1), thanks to a double from McTominay (19th and 69th). Palmer equalized for the Blues just before the break (45th). The Red Devils move up to 6th place, with 3 points from the Top 4. Chelsea remain 9th with only 19 points on the clock.
