Aston Villa vs Man City predicted lineups: Team news for Premier League fixture

Aston Villa host Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday night.

Steven Gerrard remains under heavy pressure after his side's poor start to the season continued with defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday. Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli gave the Gunners a 2-1 win in a game that was a lot less close than the scoreline suggests.

The Villans have only a solitary win thus far and sit second bottom after four defeats out of their five games.

It's a wholly more positive story for the defending champions who are second and come into Saturday's contest fresh from the 6-0 thrashing of newly-promoted Nottingham Forest in midweek.

In Erling Haaland they boast the division's form player after the Norwegian striker netted not one hat-trick but two in back-to-back outings and he'll be hungry for more at Villa Park.
