Aston Villa vs Manchester City: Premier League – teams, prediction, lineups

Premier League leaders Manchester City, unbeaten with seven wins from seven matches, travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa in Saturday’s 12:30pm kickoff. A win would put City six points clear at the top of the table. The club is playing amid an independent commission’s guilty verdict over more than 100 alleged financial-rule breaches; City has appealed, and no sanctions have yet been imposed. Enzo Maresca also said he wants to help Phil Foden return to his best form after the England international ended a long goal drought.
