Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City make the trip to Villa Park to put their title credentials to test against a high-flying Aston Villa side on Wednesday night.
A 3-3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday saw the Sky Blues' winless run in the Premier League extend to three games, their longest since 2017. As a result, they relinquished top spot to Arsenal, and Pep Guardiola will be scratching his head as to how he can stifle Aston Villa's unwavering momentum at Villa Park.
A late equaliser against Bournemouth over the weekend was enough to salvage a point from a tricky road trip for the Lions, who remain in the top-four. In red-hot form on home soil, Villa have won 13 league games in a row at Villa Park and will look to pounce on City's defensive vulnerabilities in recent outings this midweek.
