Aston Villa vs Manchester City Preview: Team News, H2H, early injury news, probable lineups, tickets and more
Summit-chasing Manchester City travel to the Midlands to meet Aston Villa in fine form.
Sunday’s early kickoff sees two sides in excellent form taking on each other as Aston Villa host Manchester City in the Premier League.
Emiliano Buendia scored a Goal of the Season contender as Aston Villa came from behind to defeat Tottenham away from home. Unai Emery’s men have put their slow start behind them. They are flying with three consecutive victories in the league and are looking like European contenders again. A resilient midfield with individual brilliance in attack will be tough for any side to contain. However, they came crashing to the ground after losing to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League. Emery’s focus will be on extending the winning run in the league. They enjoy a fairly successful recent head-to-head record with Manchester City and will be eager to extend it.
Pep Guardiola’s side is known for having multiple match winners. But in 2025, we may just as well call Manchester City an Erling Haaland team. The Norwegian goal machine was on target yet again as City made short work of Villarreal in the Champions League. However, the Cityzens are looking much sharper and are controlling games better. They are nine games unbeaten and rose to second in the Premier League thanks to that run. As the momentum builds steadily, expect them to mount a title challenge.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City Key Matchups
Morgan Rogers vs Nico Gonzalez: Rogers was jeered at Villa Park after a shockingly poor performance against Bologna in the Europa League. The English international switched things up after that setback. The international break helped his confidence as he scored an excellent goal on the weekend against Tottenham. With growing impact, he is back to running things for the Villans. Nico Gonzalez will be tasked with keeping him quiet. The prolonged absence of Rodri is helping the Spaniard own the defensive midfield spot. He has continued to impress and will be hoping for another outstanding outing. A rough tackle midweek casts doubts over his availability on the weekend. He can still make the lineup following a late fitness test.
Ollie Watkins vs Ruben Dias: With his peers kicking into form, Watkins would be itching to have a big performance and win the game for his side. Watkins had a 30-minute cameo, brushing off a collision with the post during the international break. He will be expected to lead the line against City on Sunday. Dias became a key component of the buildup for City with his volume passing and the newfound ability to break the lines. He will be marking Watkins closely as the striker tries to peel away from him.
Erling Haaland vs Pau Torres: At the moment, there seems to be no immovable object capable of stopping the unstoppable force that is Haaland. The striker scored in 12 consecutive games for club and country. The Golden Boot now seems like a mere formality as he leads his side’s title charge. The duo of Torres and Ezri Konsa will need to be at their very best to prevent Haaland from scoring a brace. While the first goal appears inevitable, perhaps they can stop him from grabbing the second.
Aston Villa vs Manchester City Prediction
These sides have traded a win and a loss alternatively in their last four encounters. Emery’s midblock and counterattack always suffocates Manchester City. There will be an end-to-end clash with goals and drama, with points being shared.
GOAL’s Prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Manchester City

Aston Villa team news
Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa – Premier LeagueGetty Images
Buendia will surely be hopeful of getting a start after that wonderful goal on the weekend. It will come at the expense of Evann Guessand. Watkins will also be in contention to start over Donyell Malen. The industry of Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana will be utilised yet again as the defence remains the same. Digne is expected to be fit for the clash. Youri Tielemans and Ross Barkley are ruled out of the fixture.
Predicted Lineup: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Onana; Buendia, Rogers, McGinn; Watkins
Manchester City team news
Manchester City v Everton – Premier LeagueGetty Images
Guardiola revealed that he will not rush Rodri back in, and the Ballon d’Or winner is a week away from action. He has the luxury of rotation in other spots, as Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki returned to the fold with cameos recently. They will be pushing for a start on the weekend to contribute to their team. Gonzalez is subject to a late fitness test before the clash.
Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gonzalez; Foden, Cherki, Reijnders, Marmoush; Haaland

The Last Meeting
City were the outgoing champions as they welcomed Villa in a crunch clash for Champions League football. Villa could’ve eclipsed the hosts with a win. Bernardo Silva struck first as the hosts opened the scoring in the 7th minute. Marcus Rashford immediately equalised from the spot for the visitors. It was a nervy encounter as both sides had chances till the final minute. It was Doku who made the difference in the 94th minute as he drove past Axel Disasi and put it on a plate for Matheus Nunes, who scored to seal the result for the hosts. The massive three points helped them clinch a Champions League spot with ease.
