City's recent troubles feel like they have been going from bad to worse with each passing week with Pep Guardiola enduring the worst spell in his trophy-laden managerial career. Defeat to arch-rivals Manchester United consigned the Cityzens to a fifth defeat in seven Premier League games, which is as many as they had in their previous 67 combined (W51 D11).
They've also lost eight of their last 11 games in all competitions (W1 D2), as many as they had in their previous 106 combined (W78 D20). Pep himself revealed that he's struggling to find the "solution" to Manchester City's problems, and a visit to Unai Emery's Aston Villa isn't the ideal fixture to get things back on track.
The hosts appeared to have survived a sticky patch which has seen them drop to seventh in the standings - two points behind Saturday's opponents. Villa enjoyed a three-match winning run against Brentford, Southampton and RB Leipzig before succumbing to a late 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
