Before you lock in your Manchester City vs. Aston Villa picks or Premier League predictions, you must see what soccer bettor Jon (Buckets) Eimer has to say.

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. Since the end of last year's World Cup he has been red-hot, going 240-216-11 for a profit of $3,517 for $100 bettors. That includes an 81-50-5 record in the Premier League for a $3,688 profit.

Eimer knows that City have arguably the best goal scorer in the world in Erling Haaland. The 23-year-old striker from Norway leads the league in goals, with 14, four more than his closest pursuer, Mo Salah. Less than two weeks ago, with a goal against Liverpool, Haaland scored his 50th career Premier League goal in just his 48th game, becoming the fastest player in Premier League history to reach that milestone, breaking Andrew Cole's previous record of 65 games.

But Eimer also has taken into account that Villa face a Manchester City side that will be without Rodri. One of the best defensive midfielders in the world, Rodri picked up his fifth yellow card of the season on Sunday, which means he has been automatically suspended for one game. Since his debut in 2019, Rodri has missed 16 Premier League matches, and Man City have lost six of them, including the last two.

For Wednesday, Eimer has taken an in-depth look at the Aston Villa vs Manchester City matchup and locked in his picks. We can tell you that he is picking Over 3.5 goals, but he has two other picks, both of which would pay plus-money. He also has a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
