- Man City travel to Aston Villa on Saturday desperate for victory
- Cityzens fell further into crisis with late Manchester derby defeat
- Villans hoping to further punish miserable Man City form
Manchester City make the challenging trip to Aston Villa on Saturday in the Premier League as they desperately look to end their three-game winless run.
Last weekend's late and embarrassing defeat to local rivals Manchester United means the reigning champions have won just one of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions, losing eight of them. Not only are Pep Guardiola's side quickly falling out of contention to defend their crown, they will face a fierce battle to secure top four if they don't buck up their ideas.
Villa are primed to take advantage of Man City's woeful form and low confidence, knowing victory on Saturday lunchtime will see them leapfrog their opponents. The Midlands side haven't been entirely convincing in recent weeks, however, and, much like Man City, they conceded two late goals last weekend in a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
