Aston Villa - Manchester City takes place at 9pm, October 26 (Vietnam time). Aston Villa are in good form and will aim for an important victory when hosting Manchester City. Aston Villa are living off the breath of Villa Park when their home ground has become a fortress, helping them score important victories against Burnley and Fulham.

The lackluster results of August are far behind, as three consecutive wins have given Aston Villa confidence ahead of their trip to Man City.

Ollie Watkins is pushing for a return to the starting line-up, while both Youri Tielemans and Tyrone Mings remain in the recovery room.

Manchester City are also looking for a fourth straight Premier League win. Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to close the gap on Arsenal in the table, but given their recent poor form at Villa Park, a draw would be well worth the effort.

Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov are still in the recovery room, but they will be the only players absent for the visitors.

As usual, top scorer Erling Haaland will lead the scoring charts for the team that is always a title contender.

Commenting on this top match, Premier League legend Alan Shearer said: "I think Man City will have to share points at Aston Villa. Unai Emery's team always plays very well at Villa Park and I think they will get points."

Other experts were divided: former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson predicted a 0-2 draw, while former manager Harry Redknapp picked a 1-2 draw. Conversely, Arsenal legend Paul Merson and former striker Chris Sutton both predicted a 2-2 draw and a 1-1 draw.
