Aston Villa vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Aston Villa welcome a Manchester City side in crisis to Villa Park in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Unai Emery’s side will be aiming to inflict more misery on the Premier League champions, who have lost five of their last seven league fixtures. Villa, who won this fixture last season, will be seeking a response of their own, having conceded two late goals to lose at Nottingham Forest last weekend.

The Villans have struggled for consistency in the Premier League despite impressive performances in the Champions League. However, Emery’s side are just three points outside the Champions League places heading into this weekend’s fixtures.
