Unai Emery has a point to prove after suffering an embarrassing defeat in midweek

Man City could extend their unbeaten run to ten matches with a win away at Aston Villa this weekend.

City’s last three outings have delivered clean-sheet victories over Brentford, Everton, and Villarreal - leaving them poised to break their Villa Park hoodoo.

They came from behind to beat Spurs last time out in the Premier League, though, and will look to prove that defeat in the Netherlands was merely a blip.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Aston Villa vs Man City is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The match will take place at Villa Park, Birmingham.

Tijjani Reijnders is expected to come back into the fold after being rested in midweek, while fit-again Rayan Cherki will also eye a spot in the starting XI after making a pair of impressive cameo appearances this week.

Unai Emery will likely make changes after the Go Ahead loss. Andres Garcia and Youri Tielemans are unavailable to him, though Lucas Digne could return after missing the trip to the Netherlands.

Aston Villa vs Man City prediction

Man City are on a roll, and know they need a win over Villa if they are to keep within touching distance of League leaders Arsenal.

Erling Haaland is in the form of his life, with 11 League goals already this campaign, and the rest of the City squad is running as a well-oiled machine.

They should have no trouble heaping more misery on Aston Villa.

Man City to win, 4-0.
