Aston Villa vs Manchester City: Preview
Aston Villa’s valiant form in the UEFA Champions League continued in midweek, as Emery’s men made it three from three so far in the league phase.
Goals from Ross Barkley, Emi Buendia and an own goal secured a 3-1 win on home soil against Viking, continuing their unbeaten start to the competition.
Villa will be without Amadou Onana (ACL), Matteo Ruggeri (thigh) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (hamstring) due to injury, whilst summer signing Johan Manzambi (muscle) and defender Modou Keba Cisse (groin) are both doubts.
Despite impressing against Viking, Alysson may be replaced on the right flank by captain John McGinn, with Boubacar Kamara and Joao Gomes set to resume their central midfield partnership for City’s visit.

Manchester City have been flawless in the Premier League and remain as the only unbeaten side in the division as we head into Matchweek 8.
Enzo Maresca’s side are continuing as normal despite the ongoing case against the Premier League, with it unlikely their decision against their guilty verdict will arrive anytime soon.
Erling Haaland will come back as he was rested for the midweek win against AEK Athens, as well as influential duo Rayan Cherki and Iliman Ndiaye.
Antoine Semenyo is ruled out for around eight weeks with a knee injury, while Nico O’Reilly, Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes were also rested in midweek and should be fit to return to the matchday squad after sustaining minor issues against Ipswich.
FourFourTwo’s prediction
Aston Villa 1-3 Manchester City
City have looked unstoppable so far this term and we expect them to win again against a Villa side that hasn’t really got going in the Premier League as yet.
