Manchester City continue their pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool with a game against Aston Villa at the Etihad on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's men have responded in strong fashion since losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers prior to the international break, winning 2-0 at Crystal Palace ahead of recording a 5-1 win over Atalanta in the Champions League.
The Citizens will be desperate to avoid slipping up at home against a Villa side that gave Arsenal quite a scare at the Emirates last month.
