ASTON Villa's pursuit of a Champions League berth will be given a stern test at the Britannia Stadium tomorrow.

Although Villa start as Betfred's 5/4 favourites, we know the Potters (11/5, Partybets) are not to be taken lightly on home turf.

Indeed, with City beating Villa 3-2 in the corresponding fixture last term, punters seeking goals can get 11/10 (Ladbrokes) against there being more than two.

However, Villa have lost fewer away matches than any other Premier League side, a record which suggests the draw (9/4, Totesport) is worth consideration.

Stan James's 11/2 for it to finish 1-1 has attracted support, as has bet365's 4/7 for City to win when kicking off by one goal.

City maintaining their good home form is backed at 13/2 (Paddy Power) for a 1-0 Potters victory.
