    Manchester City arrive as favourites — superior form and Haaland's scoring offset Villa's recent firepower. Villa's goalkeeper Onana is absent, so expect an open game with both teams likely to score.

    Manchester City arrive with seven straight league wins and Haaland on 8 goals, while Villa have 2 days of rest and several defenders out. Both sides score freely, so an open game with goals at both ends is likely. Villa's recent home wins over City keep it close.

    Manchester City arrive in flawless domestic form having won all seven league fixtures, led by a prolific Erling Haaland. Although Aston Villa possess an encouraging recent head-to-head record, defensive absences and a quick two-day turnaround give the league leaders a sharp competitive edge in an open encounter.
