LIVE – Aston Villa v Manchester City: Commentary, updates, goals and stats

Manchester City take their perfect Premier League record to Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime.

Enzo Maresca’s men have managed to distance themselves from the club’s off-field issues and have won seven from seven in the top flight so far.

Villa are flying too. Their Champions League campaign is now three wins from three after a 3-1 victory over Viking on Wednesday, following wins at Club Brugge and against Fenerbahçe. They also won 1-0 at Newcastle last weekend, a result Tyrone Mings described as a sign that Villa are “slowly grinding towards cohesion”.

History is on Villa’s side too. They have won the last three meetings with City at Villa Park, and they did the double over City last season.
