Aston Villa host Manchester City in Premier League clash

Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 24 Oct, 11:02 · Archive

Aston Villa play Manchester City at Villa Park in a Premier League match.

Aston Villa and Manchester City meet at Villa Park in the Premier League. Aston Villa have performed strongly in recent weeks, winning eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. They beat Fenerbahce and Viking in the past ten days in the Champions League, scoring nine goals in those wins. Manchester City remain unbeaten in the Premier League, sitting at the top of the table with a perfect record after seven matches.

The two sides have a notable recent history. City have lost their last two league meetings with Villa and have not suffered three successive defeats against them since the 1960s. This is City's second away game since the club was found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules.

Aston Villa are without Matteo Ruggeri and Aaron Wan-Bissaka through injury, with Ian Maatsen expected to start at left-back after featuring in their last match against Viking.
