Lambert confident Villa can upset Man City again

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists history can repeat itself against Manchester City.

Villa stunned Manuel Pellegrini's side when they won 3-2 at home last season as they fought back from 1-0 and 2-1 down before Andreas Weimann's winner.

And Lambert believes his sixth-placed side can shock City again - but would prefer an easier game.

He said: "You wouldn't want to come back twice. They are a top side, no doubt about it.

"They and Chelsea are the strongest sides physically in the league. But on any given day you can win a game."
