LIVE: Aston Villa vs Manchester City – Pep Guardiola’s men look to put European Super League debacle behind them and strengthen their grip on top spot against Dean Smith’s European hopefuls
Aston Villa welcome Manchester City to Villa Park for tonight’s second instalment of Premier League football.
Following the almighty collapse of the European Super League, just 48 hours after it was announced, attentions turn back to the pitch for Pep Guardiola’s City side as they look strengthen their grip on top spot.
Tonight’s clash against Dean Smith’s men will be ideal preparation for this Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, where they will meet Tottenham at Wembley. However, Villa, who have European ambitions of their own, will be hoping to upset the odds with a home win here.
