The Villains were pretty comfortable as they got the job done against local rivals Wolves at the weekend. The Citizens, meanwhile, had most of the ball against title rivals Arsenal but failed to convert. Erling Haaland and co. need to put that right in this game.
That is not to dismiss the attacking options available to Unai Emery, most notably Ollie Watkins. The England striker has netted 16 times in the league so far. The influential John McGinn does though remain suspended. Pep Guardiola’s defence has been hit by injuries to Kyle Walker, John Stones and goalkeeper Ederson.
Aston Villa won 1-0 when these sides met in December. If they win at the Etihad it will be the first time they have beaten Man City twice in the league since the 1962/63 season. With the hosts in the title race and the visitors trying to fend off Spurs in the fight for Champions League football, there is a lot on this game. They both score plenty of goals and we should be treated to an exciting affair.
Here's how they line up:
Man City: Ortega; Lewis, Ruben Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Rodri, Bernado Silva; Doku, Foden, Grealish; Alvarez
Aston Villa: Martinez; Konsa, Diego Carlos, Lenglet, Digne; Zaniolo, Iroegbunam, Douglas Luiz, Rogers; Diaby, Duran
