    Man City 0-0 Aston Villa

    Raheem Sterling's shot cannons off Bjorn Engels and Manchester City's players are screaming for a penalty.

    Play continues after a VAR check after replays showed the Villa player's arm was by his side.

    Can Manchester City get the ball into wide areas with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva? That would be the difference and could unlock Villa’s defence.

    Bob Moss: Can Villa please burn their away kit, it's awful.

    A bit extreme, Bob, but I see where you are coming from...

    It's end to end stuff.

    Villa's visiting fans let out a huge roar as John McGinn's deflected attempted lands on the roof of Ederson's net.

    Another corner for the visitors. Dean Smith likes what he sees. He's out of his seat clapping his hands in encouragement.

    Villa look threatening on the counter. Jack Grealish finds himself in acres of space but over-cooks a pass meant for Wesley. A chink of encouragement for the visitors - City were caught out there.

    Man City 0-0 Aston Villa

    It's all City. Villa have nine men behind the ball as the hosts launch another promising attack.

    Four shots and two corners by Pep Guardiola's side in the opening 12 minutes - the rain certainly isn't hampering them.

    I'm a Man City fan, I tried getting tickets for this game but none were available. People who have season tickets just don't turn up when the weather is bad especially if it's on telly.

    City's players are looking at referee Graham Scott after Frederic Guilbert's challenge on Gabriel Jesus after Joao Cancelo whips a cross into the penalty area.

    Was that a push? Scott isn't interested.

  9. CLOSE!published at 6 mins

    Man City 0-0 Aston Villa

    Raheem Sterling's pace is already causing Aston Villa problems down their right hand side.

    He's involved in a sumptuous move that leads to Gabriel Jesus turning inside the penalty area and firing narrowly wide.

    City are starting to find their rhythm.

    It's hard to believe Tyrone Mings was playing no-League for Chippenham Town seven years ago. Now he's an England international and in the best form of his life.

    City respond with a corner of their own - it's floated towards John Stones but his headers falls to Tyrone Mings who easily clears.

  12. Postpublished at 2 mins

    Man City 0-0 Aston Villa

    Bright and breezy start by Villa who are keeping Man City pinned inside their own half in the opening exchanges as the rain pours downs.

    The visitors win an early corner. It's taken by John McGinn but doesn't trouble City's defence.

  13. KICK-OFFpublished at 1 min

    Man City 0-0 Aston Villa

    Manchester City have won nine successive Premier League home games against Aston Villa by an aggregate score of 30-4.

    That's one heck of a record. Another convincing City win or will Villa show what they're about?

    We're under way.

    Raheem Sterling has a huge smile on his face as he gets ready for kick-off. Will he increase his six-goal league tally?

    As Pep Guardiola points out in his programme notes, he has never faced Aston Villa before - they are the 48th club he has met since becoming Manchester City manager in 2016.

    Celtic, Lyon, Wigan and Norwich are the only four teams City have not beaten in that time - can Villa join that exclusive club today?

    Jack Grealish is definitely class enough for the England team but with the likes of Maddison still waiting for his debut I can't see room for him at the moment.

    Huge roar from Man City fans as David Silva's name is read out over the speakers.

    What a player he has been to the club.

    Tony Pulis
    Former Stoke and West Brom manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Aston Villa's home form is going to be absolutely crucial to them staying in the Premier League.

    Dean Smith had to make changes in the summer, he had a lot of older players coming to the end of their contracts.

    They will have a run of games against the top seven where they don't pick up many points and it is managing yourself, the players and keeping confident. You should never get down and just keep the players as positive.

    I think when he is fit John Stones is a wonderful player.

    Against Liverpool last season he was immense and we need to get him back to his level.
