Manchester City vs Aston Villa Match Preview and Team News
Manchester City
Manchester City was pretty abject on their Premier League travels last season, winning only twice and suffering 11 defeats along the way. A trip to high-flying Manchester City is hardly likely to snap them out of their season-long slumber, with their coach charges picking up 16 points from the last 18 available in front of their supporters. The deadlock has been broken at some point in 14 consecutive games involving Manchester City in the second tier of the Premier League, so achieving consistency in this area has not proven too difficult. Phil Foden shows his talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Jack Grealish is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed. The Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has zero fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match, thanks to a completely healthy squad to choose from.
Aston Villa
Given that just one of the previous 16 Aston Villa matches at this level has finished scoreless, it would be somewhat of a surprise if this contest produced a scoreless match. What’s more, Aston Villa rarely comes up short when it comes to hitting the back of the net, managing to do so in ten of their last 11 contests at this elite level of the Premier League. They have really struggled on the road of late, suffering six defeats in eight Premier League trips, one of which was a loss in this fixture. Emiliano Buendia found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball. Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Lucas Digne (Shoulder Injury), Bertrand Traoré (Knee Injury), and Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon rupture) will not be playing here.
