Manchester City travel to the West Midlands looking to maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season against in-form Aston Villa. City have won each of their opening seven top-flight games and Enzo Marescas side will be full of confidence having dispatched AEK in ruthless fashion in the Champions League in midweek.That record has made City only the third team in Premier League history to have won their first seven games of a season, while Maresca is the only manager ever to win his first seven games in charge of a club in the division.After an underwhelming start, Villas fortunes have picked up in recent weeks, having lost just once in their last nine matches in all competitions. Unai Emerys men have recent history on their side in this fixture, too. The hosts have won the last three meetings with City at Villa Park, and they did the double over City last season.Aston Villa team news Aston Villa: Suzuki, Cash, Lindelof, Torres, Maatsen, Kamara, Gomes, Alysson, Manzambi, McGinn, JacksonSubs: Bizot, Mings, Barkley, Buendia, Mbaye, Bogarde, Goretzka, Madjo, HemmingsManchester City team newsManchester City: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernandez, Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku, HaalandSubs: Rulli, Kovacic, Ait-Nouri, Reis, Bouaddi, OReilly, Foden, McAidoo, LewisWhere to Watch Aston Villa v Manchester City: TV and online streamsAston Villa versus Manchester City kicks off at 12:30pm BST on Saturday, October 24 at Villa Park.The match is live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK and you can stream it on the HBO Max app. In the US, its on NBC Sports at 7:30am ET.Global broadcast details can be found at premierleague.com.Recent Form & Stats for Aston Villa v Manchester CityAs well as having the most goals (8), Erling Haaland has had the most shots (27) and shots on target (13) of any player in the Premier League this seasonAston Villa have won four of their last six Premier League games against Manchester City, as many as in their previous 35 against themMan City have lost their last two league games against Aston Villa, last losing three in a row to them between August 1962 and September 1966Villa are winless in all three home league games so far (D1 L2), their worst run at the start of a campaign since 2015-16 (9) Recent Results : Aston Villa UEFA Champions League Aston Villa AST W 3 1 2026-10-21 Viking VIK Premier League Newcastle NEW W 0 1 2026-10-17 Aston Villa AST UEFA Champions League Aston Villa AST W 6 0 2026-10-14 Fenerbahe FEN Premier League Aston Villa AST D 2 2 2026-10-10 Brentford BRE Premier League Tottenham TOT W 2 3 2026-09-19 Aston Villa AST Recent Results : Manchester City UEFA Champions League Manchester City MCI W 5 1 2026-10-20 AEK Athens FC AEK Premier League Manchester City MCI W 3 2 2026-10-17 Ipswich IPS UEFA Champions League Manchester City MCI L 2 4 2026-10-14 Paris Saint Germain PSG Premier League Liverpool LIV W 0 3 2026-10-11 Manchester City MCI Premier League Manchester City MCI W 5 3 2026-09-20 Sunderland SUN Premier League table Premier League 2026 England #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 5 1 Manchester City77001971221 W W W W W 2 Arsenal7601115618 W W L W W 3 Brighton75112351816 W W W W D 4 Chelsea74121713413 W W L D L 5 Liverpool733198112 W L W D W 6 Brentford7241138510 L D W D D 7 Leeds724196310 D L D W D 8 Everton724187110 L D W D D 9 Ipswich83141216-410 D L W L W 10 Hull City72328719 L D L D D 11 Newcastle72231014-48 L L W L D 12 Aston Villa7223711-48 W D W L D 13 Manchester United7142101007 D D D L D 14 Crystal Palace7214917-87 L W D L W 15 Bournemouth7133913-46 W L L D D 16 Tottenham7133610-46 W D L D D 17 Nottingham Forest8134610-46 D L L L W 18 Coventry7205614-86 L W W L L 19 Fulham7124710-35 W L D D L 20 Sunderland7115614-84 L L L L D Position 1, 2, 3, 4 : Promotion Champions League (League phase) Position 5 : Promotion Europa League (League phase) Position 18, 19, 20 : Relegation Championship Topics Aston Villa F.C.
