Man City XI vs Aston Villa: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League today

Manchester City are without Jeremy Doku for today's trip to Aston Villa.

The Belgian winger was substituted early in the second half of Man City's draw with Tottenham and was spotted limping while exiting the pitch.

"We have training this afternoon," Pep Guardiola said on Tuesday ahead of making a call on Doku. "I will talk with the doctors and see after."

Injury doubts over Doku come at a bad time for City, who are without left-wing competitor Jack Grealish ahead of the trip to Villa Park.

The England winger, along with Rodri, is suspended for Wednesday night having picked up his fifth yellow card of the Premier League campaign.

John Stones also starts.

Stones being named in the XI would not be a surprise given his return from a recent injury via the substitutes' bench, with Nathan Ake also vying to start after the defending champions shipped ten goals in their last four games.

Predicted Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Stones, Lewis, Foden, Bernardo, Alvarez, Haaland

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Ake, Kovacic, Gomez, Nunes, Bobb
