Preview + Form
A tricky match up, and seeing the form of these clubs, one would back some resurgence by City here. However, this could be the second win for City, who need more results in the worst of ways.
For Villa, this is a real tricky spot as they have a motivated side in front of them and are a solid in form team in themselves.
The key battle will be the forwards chosen vs a their defense. An interesting match up is in tow. Who will play?

Our last trip to Villa Park 12 months ago ended in a narrow defeat, as Leon Bailey’s second half goal, which clipped off Ruben Dias, won the contest as the hosts picked up their 14th straight victory on home soil.
In the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium later that season, we secured a convincing 4-1 victory, with Phil Foden bagging a hat-trick to stretch our unbeaten run at the time to 24 matches.
