Ilkay Gundogan spilts the Villa centre-backs, lunges at the ball and just misses it. 11 mins: Nice work from Bernardo Silva to shift the ball away from Tyrone Mings and lay it off to Rodri. Ollie Watkins is around but the ball falls to Gundogan and City boot it clear. Cash does well initially to keep Foden in check and Douglas Luiz takes the ball of the City man. He gives it back to Cash whose clearance is poor and comes straight to De Bruyne. City recover the ball through Foden who guides it inside.

When Philippe Coutinho put Villa 2-0 up at the Etihad Stadium on the final day of last season, it looked like Pep Guardiola's side were about to surrender their title to Liverpool. Erling Haaland's hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest mean he has nine goals in his first five Premier League games — a competition record. They're both on the bench. The answer today is neither. Manuel Akanji, who signed from Borussia Dortmund this week, is absent due to the birth of his baby son. 10 mins from kickoff: We won't get to see City's latest arrival today.

Everyone understands we were in a tough situation but he just wanted us to bring the best version of ourselves on the pitch and we did that today.” The hosts have looked vulnerable against most teams but Tyrone Mings played well against Arsenal and Ollie Watkins is proving a relentless attacker. Sometimes you’ve got to take a little bit of technical, the nice bits of your team away, to put in some real blood and thunder. But we were just not precise enough in the crosses, we missed a few situations and that’s why we could not score. We were not precise in our final third touches and our simple things, especially in the first half. “A lot of credit to [Steven] Gerrard because going into a big important game he didn’t let anyone feel pressure and that was important for the team. City had 73 percent of the ball and took 13 of the game’s 16 shots but Villa stayed tight. “Listen I’ve had to tweak a few things and look at myself behind the scenes. There were a lot fewer of the latter on Saturday, as Emiliano Martinez and Tyrone Mings kept the defending unit as compact as possible and ready to counter attack.
