Manchester City vs Aston Villa LIVE!
The Premier League title race is poised to take another twist at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon. Manchester City can move back within three points of the lead with victory over mid-table Aston Villa after rivals Arsenal followed a shock defeat by Everton by dropping two more points at home to Brentford in a London derby yesterday.
That 1-1 draw has offered City real incentive ahead of their massive trip to the Emirates on Wednesday night, with Pep Guardiola’s side able to reclaim top spot with back-to-back victories in the coming days. It would be quite the riposte to another difficult week for the reigning champions, whose manager came out fighting and took aim at their rivals after charges levelled at City by the top-flight for more than 100 alleged breaches of their financial rules.
Villa will be wary of facing a Guardiola side motivated to make a real statement today as they look to push into the top half of the table after an inconsistent recent run under Unai Emery. Follow Manchester City vs Aston Villa live below!
