Manchester City vs Aston Villa: Latest City injury and team news and predicted City starting eleven | OneFootball

Manchester City take on Aston Villa today at the Etihad Stadium in what is their final Premier League fixture of the 2025-26 season. However, the match itself almost feels irrelevant. Three City legends will say goodbye to a club and the Manchester City fans, that they have left an unforgettable mark on throughout their time at the club. Bernardo Silva and John Stones will play their final games for City today. Pep Guardiola will manage his final match at the club he has spent a decade in charge of as manager and left a legacy that will live on. Today’s match and farewells will be emotional as Manchester City’s most successful era in club history ends today.

Here is the latest City injury news and my predicted Manchester City starting eleven for the final time for the 2025-26 season and with Pep Guardiola as the manager of City.

Latest City injury news.

There is no injury news to report surrounding Manchester City heading into today’s match. Pep Guardiola has a full squad to pick from for his final match in charge of City.

It would seem to be a given that John Stones and Bernardo Silva will start today’s match. The pair have to, given it is their final match for Manchester City. Nathan Ake could join Stones in the heart of City’s defence as there are doubts surrounding his future at the club.

Bernardo Silva will start in midfield. It would be huge shock if he didn’t. Rodri will likely partner him in midfield for one last dance. Phil Foden could start as well given how much Foden has given to the cause during Pep Guardiola’s tenure as City manager.

Lastly, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland seem certain starters today. Rayan Cherki could start on the right wing to give Antoine Semenyo a rest, as the Ghana international has carried a heavy workload this season.
