Man City and Aston Villa go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend
Manchester City will hope to build on their win last weekend to gain ground in the Premier League title race.
The reigning champions suffered a set-back after a shock 2-0 home defeat to Wolves before the international break.
However, they responded with a victory over Crystal Palace to ensure their previous performance was a mere blip.
Liverpool’s draw with Manchester United means City are lagging six points behind, though it could have been worse for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Aston Villa travel to the Etihad hoping to maintain their solid run of form.
The Villans sit 12th in the table with just one defeat in their last five games.
Jack Grealish has stepped up his game lately and will hope to make an impact on the big stage in Manchester.

City have suffered two big defeats in recent weeks, but their ‘off days’ appear to be that, as opposed to a systematic failing with Guardiola’s team.
Question marks will be raised continually against his defence, but central midfield pair Fernandinho and Rodrigo filled in nicely against Palace.
This should be a routine home win for City, but Villa will take heart from Norwich and Wolves’ displays and put in a hefty shift.
Prediction: Man City 3-1 Aston Villa
