Team News:

Aston Villa:

Aston Villa are currently missing a few key players like John Mcginn, Matt Targett and Keinan Davis at this moment. Wesley and Tom Heaton have also picked up a knock in the previous match against Burnley in the Premier League. Both of them are out with long-term injuries. The home side have not been able to keep clean sheets in recent encounters. So, it will be a difficult task for the manager of Aston Villa to settle down his defensive unit ahead of this game.

Jack Grealish is in good form this season and the whole team is completely dependent on the performance of their captain. Grealish has already scored six goals and assisted for another five goals for Aston Villa in the Premier League this season. It will be interesting to see the formation of Aston Villa against Manchester City. Generally Dean Smith field his side with a 3-4-3 formation. However, the wing-backs will be busy in defensive work against Manchester City on Sunday.

According to BigPesa, the game is expected to have three goals. Odds of 4.3 suggest the game. The hosts will be hoping that they can score a few themselves and take back something from the match.

Manchester City:

The manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola has given rest to two of his star centre forwards Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero in the first leg of Carabao Cup semi-final. The likes of Eric Garcia, Phil Foden, David Silva, João Cancelo were also on the bench.

So, it is expected that quite a few rotations are incoming for Manchester City against Aston Villa this weekend. Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte are two long term absentees for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola will field his side with a 4-3-3 formation. Both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero might be seen in the starting lineup of the away side in this match.

Based on the odds on BigPesa, 0-3 is the most favoured score-line. This means that it could be yet another goal-fest for the visitors.
