Aston Villa v Man City: Confirmed line-ups as Foden and Rogers return

Manchester City’s upward trajectory faces a stern test at Aston Villa this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola’s men have won their last three in the Premier League and go into the day in third in the table, behind Arsenal and Sunderland.

They will take on a Villa side no doubt smarting from their shock Europa League defeat at the Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday night.

That ended a run of five straight wins in all competitions for Unai Emery’s men and another this afternoon would continue their rise up the table.
