In a bad phase this season, Manchester City has a difficult commitment against Aston Villa in the 17th round of the Premier League. The game takes place this Saturday (21/12), at 9:30 am, at Villa Park, in Birmingham, England.
City are at a difficult time in the season. The team has won just one victory in the last 11 games. In addition to only occupying fifth place in the Premier League, with 27 points, the team is also in a complicated situation in the Champions League: it is 22nd, and only 24 teams qualify for the next phase.

Manchester City lineup against Aston Villa
In addition to midfielder Rodri, who is out of season, Manchester City’s list of absences is extensive. Guardiola’s team should still be without striker Oscar Bobb and defenders Nathan Aké and Manuel Akanji.
Without two of his main defenders, Guardiola must experiment, placing names like Gundogan and Bernardo Silva further back, as John Stones, a defender by trade, still finds himself lacking the rhythm of the game after returning from injury.
Manchester City lineup: Ederson; Lewis, Gundogan, Dias, Bernardo and Gvardiol; Savinho, De Bruyne, Foden and Nunes; Haaland. Technical: Pep Guardiola.
