Manchester City, Recent FormManchester City will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Arsenal last time out. They came away from that fixture with 72% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Arsenal managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. At home this season, they have scored in 14 of their 15 home games and notched up 6 clean sheets.
They have not lost at home for an impressive 26 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 18 goals in Manchester City's 29 league games this season.
Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Wolverhampton W.. In that game they recorded 48 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 13 shots on goal.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Unai Emery will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 10 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins is giving Aston Villa's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 5 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Manchester City, losing 1-0 to Aston Villa.
Man City have scored in each of their last 13 games at home in the league against The Villans.
It's been a long time since Aston Villa has taken any points away from their league visits to The Etihad Stadium, having been beaten by Man City in each of their last 13 meetings there and failing to record a win for 13 games.
Man City player Rodrigo Rodri will be feeling confident about recording goals against Aston Villa ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kayky da Silva Chagas (Cruciate ligament), Jérémy Doku (Thigh), John Stones (Muscle) and Kyle Walker (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Emiliano Buendía (Cruciate ligament) and Tyrone Mings (Knee) being out for the rest of the season and Matty Cash (Thigh), Kortney Hause (Knee), Boubacar Kamara (Knee) and Jacob Ramsey (Foot) all unavailable in the shorter term, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
