Aston Villa subs: Olsen (GK), Young, Chambers, Ramsey, Buendia, Moreno, Bailey, Dendoncker, Sinisalo

Man City vs Aston Villa prediction, odds

Both sides lost last weekend in Premier League action, against Tottenham and Leicester respectively, but City know they cannot afford to drop more points as they try to chase down Arsenal.

Villa have improved under Emery, but City have a dominant home Premier League record, with just one defeat at the Etihad since the start of 2022/23.

Prediction: Man City to win 2-0
