Manchester City are still second in the league standings. The Cityzens are five points behind the leader Arsenal and they also played one game more. City had the chance to reduce the gap last week, but they suffered a defeat during the visit to Tottenham Hotspur – 0-1. Harry Kane scored the only goal in the game.

Pep Guardiola could make some changes in his line-up for this game. He started with both Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez against Spurs, but now he could take the Argentinian out and add one more midfielder. Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan started from the bench against Tottenham while Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte are options for the defense. Meanwhile John Stones is not available because of injury.

Aston Villa were enjoying a nice run of positive results in the league, but they lost their last game against Leicester City at home – 2-4. It was a surprising result because the Foxes are not in their best shape. Still, Aston Villa underperformed and conceded a defeat in this one.

Villa’s manager Unai Emery could bring Leander Dendoncker back in the starting eleven against City while Philippe Coutinho is always an option for the Birmingham club. Meanwhile Ollie Watkins remains the team’s most prolific striker with five goals in the league so far.
