Aston Villa welcome league leaders Manchester City to Villa Park in the Premier League. City are favourites at 1.70 with bet365, with hosts Villa available at 4.50. The draw can be backed at 3.80.
We expect City to continue their form this season and for Erling Haaland to continue his goalscoring exploits. Villa are improving this season but are still vulnerable.
Reasons to Follow this Bet
Haaland has scored eight goals in his last eight games.
Aston Villa have conceded 11 goals in seven games this season.
Man City have scored 11 goals in their last three Premier League games.
Aston Villa vs Manchester City - Team News
Aston Villa will be without full-backs Matteo Ruggeri (hamstring) and Ian Maatsen (ankle) and will have to assess a hamstring problem for Aaron Wan-Bissaka. In-form attacker Johan Manzambi has a slight calf problem but could still be involved.
Man City could be without Antoine Semenyo after he picked up a knee injury against Ipswich but Rayan Cherki could return to the starting XI in his place. Haaland has a slight knock but should still be available while a back issue for Nico O'Reilly could keep him out.
