Aston Villa and Manchester City return from midweek European action on Sunday as they prepare to do battle at Villa Park in the Premier League.
City celebrated extending their unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions as they secured a routine 2–0 win away at Villarreal, but things didn’t go as swimmingly for Villa. The Midlands side were beaten in the Europa League by minnows Go Ahead Eagles, surrendering an early lead as they tasted a bitter defeat in the Netherlands.
That could have an unwanted impact on Villa ahead of their clash with the in-form Cityzens, who are already favourites heading into the weekend. Pep Guardiola’s side have won seven of their last nine in all competitions and will fancy their chances of securing a first win at Villa Park since 2021 when the sides lock horns this weekend.
Here’s how to watch an intriguing battle of styles on Sunday.
