Manchester CityHaaland’s goals have been cut off for the past five games, but his absence with an ankle injury has not disturbed the first one before being Premier League Champions.
The Norwegian will miss, leaving Omar Marmoush leading the line, while the city is also without goalkeeper Ederson, John Stones and Nathan Ake. The game will also come too early for Rodri, who continues to work for a comeback and hopes to present -before the end of the season.
The rotation could see that Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne fall on the bench, although it is always that someone supposes which selection Guardiola was ready. In fact, the Belgian could be asked to dictate the rhythm from the beginning with Phil Foden to a sticky patch.
Man City predicted the line against Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Orth; Monges, Khusanov, Gardon, O’Reilly; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Savinho, Brushne, Doku; Marmoush.
“ He is the manager, you must respect his decision, (but) I am not one of these happy players on the bench, “ were the words of Ollie Watkins after he was restored to Villa’s 4-1 victory over Newcastle, a game that took 33 seconds to score.
Unai Emery said it was “fantastic” that Watkins channeled his anger towards an exceptional screen, but now he has the difficult decision or if he kept faith with the 29 -year -old or restoring Marcus Rashford on the side, it was just as impressive 3-2 wins of the second half over PSG.
The latter can get his head, a lot in Watkins’ caga, while Marco Asensio can also fall on the bench while Emery chooses to strengthen his midfield. Amadou Onana, who scored against Newcastle after coming as a substitute for the second half, is a contestant to start and Pau Torres could return to central defense at the expense of Tyrone Mings.
Aston Villa predicted the VS Man City line (4-4-1-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digna; Kamara, Onana, Tielemans, McGinn; ROGERS, Rashford.
Games are still thick and fast on both sides, who play mid week due to their participation in the next Fa cup Semifinals.
The city has a superior hand on Villa in its own patch, but has fought against them during their journeys to the Midlands. Nor are they so solid rock this season, evidenced by their recent clash with Crystal Palace, in which they first fell by 2-0 Roar again to win 5-2.
Villa You will like its chances to mark at least one, but the city is traditionally a different animal in the final stretch of the season. They know how to do it when it really matters, even with Haaland absent and the shape of Bruyne and Miss, and they could go out on a half -week thriller.
