After an embarrassing midweek, Aston Villa will host Manchester City at Villa Park this Sunday with the hope of redeeming themselves.
This Premier League match is a perfect opportunity for the home team to bounce back, while City, who are currently second on the table, aim to prove they are serious title contenders this season.
Aston Villa vs Manchester City preview
)
Save for the awkward midweek result, Aston Villa came into this game in good form, where they are unbeaten in their last 5 Premier League matches.
With strong home support, manager Unai Emery will be hoping for another solid display. Thanks to goals from Rogers and Buendia in a 2-1 win against Spurs last week, the Villans are capable of shaking things up in this match.
Meanwhile, Manchester City is always dangerous under Pep Guardiola. The team has a deep squad, smart tactics, and top players to get the result they need to put pressure on league leaders, Arsenal.
With a stunning goal against Villarreal in the midweek, Erling Haaland scored for the ninth game running and will hope for a tenth one at Villa Park.
