Manchester City slumped to yet another defeat as Aston Villa ran out comfortable 2-1 winners at Villa Park on Saturday.
Jhon Duran scored early and Morgan Rogers made it two after the break. Phil Foden scored a late consolation but City were second best throughout.
It means they drop to sixth and could end the weekend as low as ninth depending on other results. It now seems a battle for the top four rather than the title and here's how the top four title contenders shape up in the Premier League over the coming weeks.
