Comments:

League position: 4th This result meant Manchester City avoided losing four consecutive Premier League games in the same season for the first time since March 2007. Sergio Aguero hit the post and missed his 73rd minute penalty. He had now scored six goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Aston Villa. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Manchester City’s first goal against Aston Villa on Saturday 5th March 2016 has been confirmed as a Yaya Toure goal. (Circular 18 – 11th March 2016)

Comments:

League position: 20th Aston Villa were now without a win in their last 14 Premier League away games. Their club record in the competition is 15 which had stood since December 2003. Only two teams in Premier League history had fewer than 16 points after 29 games; Sunderland in 2005-06 and Derby County in 2007-08. Both had ten points and were relegated in that season.
