Manchester City travel to the West Midlands looking to maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season against in-form Aston Villa.
City have won each of their opening seven top-flight games and Enzo Maresca’s side will be full of confidence having dispatched AEK in ruthless fashion in the Champions League in midweek.
That record has made City only the third team in Premier League history to have won their first seven games of a season, while Maresca is the only manager ever to win his first seven games in charge of a club in the division.
After an underwhelming start, Villa’s fortunes have picked up in recent weeks, having lost just once in their last nine matches in all competitions.
Unai Emery’s men have recent history on their side in this fixture, too. The hosts have won the last three meetings with City at Villa Park, and they did the double over City last season.
Aston Villa: Suzuki, Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen, Kamara, Gomes, Alysson, Manzambi, McGinn, Jackson
Subs: Bizot, Mings, Barkley, Buendia, Mbaye, Bogarde, Goretzka, Madjo, Hemmings
