Aston Villa welcomes Manchester City this Saturday at Villa Park for a clash that promises to be thrilling. While the reigning English champions occupy 5th place, nine points behind leader Liverpool, the Villans are only two lengths behind, in 7th position.
Pep Guardiola’s men, beaten by Manchester United (2-1) last Sunday at Old Trafford, seem more vulnerable than ever, going through a difficult period with only one victory, two draws and eight defeats in their last ten matches in all competitions. However, Unai Emery’s side are also showing a slight downturn after also conceding their fifth league defeat of the season against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday. This meeting could therefore hold many surprises, with room for the unexpected.
The expected compositions:
Aston Villa: Martinez – Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne – Kamara, Tielemans – Cash, Rogers, McGinn – Watkins.
Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis – Kovacic – Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku – Haaland.
