Manchester City will hope to put their off-the-pitch troubles to one side when they welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium.

The Premier League champions have been accused of breaching financial fair play rules on around 100 occasions over a nine-year period, although Pep Guardiola will no doubt have his team focused on sealing all three points to sustain their Premier League title hopes.

City failed to gain ground on league leaders Arsenal after suffering a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham last Sunday, but it was their sub-par performance in north London that sparked concern as Erling Haaland failed to have a single shot.

Last season's fixture was a Premier League classic as City came from two-goals behind thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's late brace and Rodri's strike to secure the title on the final day of the season.

Aston Villa have been one of the form teams since Unai Emery replaced Steven Gerrard as manager, although the Villans will need to improve at the back after conceding four times in last weekend's home loss to Leicester.

Man City v Aston Villa prediction

Manchester City have the quality to bounce back to winning ways and Erling Haaland will be desperate to get his name on the scoresheet.

Aston Villa have been one of the best teams in the Premier League since Unai Emery's arrival but have not won at the Etihad Stadium since 2007 and are unlikely to change that on Sunday.

Our prediction: Man City 3-1 Aston Villa (11/1 at bet365)
