Aston Villa Vs Man City Preview
After their typical and customary sluggish start, Aston Villa beat Newcastle 1-0 last week which came in the middle of two Champions League victories against Fenerbahce and Viking. Unai Emery – as always – is starting to get his Villa side purring ahead of one of their sternest tests of the season on MD8.
On the topic of matchdays, Man City have won seven from seven. That record is only bettered by Chelsea’s start in 2005-06 (nine wins recorded) and Liverpool’s 2019-20 campaign (eight wins recorded) whereby both sides went on to win the title.
Aston Villa Vs Man City H2H Record
When it comes to Aston Villa vs Man City betting, it’s worth noting that Villa done the double over their opponents last season. Matty Cash scored the only goal of the game in the corresponding 2025-26 season with an Ollie Watkins brace helping down the Cityzens 2-1 at the Etihad.
However, City hold the upper hand in overall Premier League meetings – registering 31 wins compared to the Lions 11.
Aston Villa vs Man City H2H Premier League record:

Aston Villa Vs Man City Team News
Amadou Onana, Matteo Ruggeri and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are ruled out injured for Aston Villa. The same may also apply to Johan Manzambi who missed the Viking win but there is achance the Swiss star will be passed fit.
On Tuesday night, Man City’s 5-1 victory over AEK Athens was posted without the presence of Erling Haaland. However, Enzo Maresca has insisted that the Norway superstar will be available on Saturday. It’s possible Rayan Cherki may drop to the bench in place of Ayyoub Bouaddi whereas Antoine Semenyo probably won’t feature until 2027 having suffered a knee injury.
