Preview + Form
A tricky match up for the club as they are off a really good UCL win. They need the win and all three points and facing a historically complicated Villa side, this could be a great opportunity.
It will be a tough match, but one has to back City with Haaland on form and Foden playing really well.
The key battle will be the midfielders chosen. An interesting match up is in tow. Who will play?
Which team will come out in front? We are in store for a fun match.
Previous Meeting
In the reverse fixture later on in the season at the Etihad, City claimed a 2-1 victory thanks to a 94th minute winner from Matheus Nunes.
Pep Guardiola Preview
“They were much, much better than us in the last two fixtures we played at Villa Park,”
“Hopefully it will be different on Sunday.
“Aston Villa I know they aren’t in the Champions League for a one point.
“I think in the last nine games they won eight and then just lost the last one at Old Trafford. So for me it is a team that is Champions League.
“They created a lot of problems for the Champions League winners, PSG so they are well organised, with a lot of quality and they have everything.
“It’s one of the toughest, toughest, toughest away games we have in the season.”
Team News
City’s side have an unavailable/questionable list of Khusanov, Ait Nouri, Gonzalez and Rodri who are out or doubtful.
