Manchester City travel to Aston Villa to round off Saturday’s Premier League action, looking to pile yet more misery on Steven Gerrard.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won all but one of their games thus far and have an in-form Erling Haaland to play with, with the Norway international coming off the back of two consecutive hat-tricks.
Julian Alvarez also opened his account for the champions, giving City even more firepower, so much so that at times it does not quite seem fair on the rest of the division.
Gerrard, meanwhile, has admitted to feeling under pressure after seeing his side lose to Arsenal. So then, the idea of playing a free-scoring City side will unlikely brighten his mood.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
