Aston Villa and Manchester City face each other this Wednesday evening for the 15th day of the Premier League (9:15 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
“ We will end up champions“. A fan of false modesty in press conferences, Pep Guardiola does not hesitate to show an arrogance that more suits his temperament as a champion with an oversized ego, when circumstances require it. The Catalan technician often uses this spring when his team is up against the wall. After several consecutive poor performances, Manchester City is only in third place in the Premier League standings, behind Arsenal and Liverpool.
Suffice it to say that the reigning champion would be well inspired to revolt this Wednesday evening so as not to lose ground in the title race, which is still very intense on the other side of the Channel. But the challenge of the day will be arduous. Car City travels to the pitch of one of the sensations of this first season, Aston Villa. Fourth, one point behind the Sky Blues, Unai Emery’s team could even overtake the Cityzens if successful. This match will also mark the reunion between two Argentine world champions, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and young striker Julian Alvarez.
The expected compositions
Aston Villa : Martinez – Digne, Torres, Carlos, Konsa – McGinn, Luiz, Kamara, Bailey – Watkins, Diaby.
Manchester City : Ederson – Ake, Dias, Walker – Akanji (or Stones), Kovacic – Doku, B. Silva, Alvarez, Foden – Haaland.
