Manchester City v Villa is as follows:First: Both teams!

Second: Arsenal drop points again, Man City eager to chase points, Harland looks to score! Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford in the current round of EPL matches, dropping points for the second consecutive round of EPL matches, giving Manchester City a chance to close the gap. In the middle of next week, Man City will face Arsenal in the 12th round, which gives the Blue Moon Army a chance to catch up with Arsenal. In this round of EPL, Man City hosts Villa, with a big gap between the two sides, plus the fact that Harland is holding his breath to score at home, so look for Man City to take down Villa at home to boost their morale, and cheer on the battle of the heavenly kings of the EPL champions next week. Pep Guardiola will be hurting again. This battle is not only to win Villa, but also to face Arsenal in the middle of next week. Let's hope the manager doesn't change his lineup at will, which is City's biggest shortcoming.
City are unbeaten in the last six meetings between the two sides with five wins and a draw!
Injuries: City have Foden, Stones; Villa have Carlos, Street, Traore.
