אסטון וילה נגד מנצ'סטר סיטי

Aston Villa sit 12th on 8 points from seven games, and Manchester City arrive top of the table on 21. That gap makes this a hard Saturday lunchtime for the hosts at Villa Park, though they have beaten City in their last two league meetings, 1-0 last October and 2-1 in May. Villa have taken only one point from three home games this season. They are coming off a 3-2 win at Tottenham and a 2-2 draw with Brentford. City have won five straight, including 3-0 at Liverpool and 5-3 against Sunderland, and have scored 19 goals in seven games. Manager Maresca has said Erling Haaland is available. Jérémy Doku and Marc Guéhi are likely to start too. City are without Antoine Semenyo (knee), and Nico O'Reilly and Matheus Nunes are doubtful. Villa have Johan Manzambi (calf) in doubt and Aaron Wan-Bissaka out until 21 November. Our prediction: 1-2
