    Duncan: I know Man City have been in this position before but this season feels different. Arsenal or Liverpool for the league this year..

    Inches away from a United clincher. Sergio Reguilon picks out Alejandro Garnacho in the box and the Argentine slips a shot just wide of the far post.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORK - Aston Villapublished at 21:59 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2023

    Aston Villa 1-0 Manchester City

    So, so close to Aston Villa taking a massive step to the three points. Douglas Luiz, another who has been sensational tonight in the claret and blue, curls an effort goalwards and Ederson is well beaten, but saved by the right post.

    Five minutes plus added time for City to rescue this one.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Manchester City

    Leon Bailey may well be the match-winner, but will watch the rest of the game from the bench as he is replaced by Moussa Diaby. Bailey's last involvement sees him get a kick on the calf by John Stones.

    Youri Tielemans is also done for the day and on comes Jacob Ramsey.

    That was a brilliant ball by Reece James. We are sat right behind.

    Nicolas Jackson just doesn't read it. It really wasn't capitalised on.

    Craig: #Arsenal, external fan here, can speak for all of us when I say we are not looking forward to Saturday. This #Villa, external team have been outstanding.

    As things stand Man Utd three points off Man City. This season is wide open

    Chelsea bring on striker Armando Broja for Mykhailo Mudryk, who was lively in the first half but not so much since.

    Scott McTominay has had seven shots in this match, the most he's ever had in a Premier League game.

    Reece James makes a huge mess of a long ball that lets Alejandro Garnacho in but just as the United winger is about to pounce, the Chelsea captain slides in to deny him.

    How impressive are Villa!

    How many team have gone ahead against City and brought on an an extra defender or two and shut up shop?

    Not this Villa team, they want another, they want to put this game to bed.

    Scott McTominay is the second player from Scotland to score three doubles for United in the Premier League after Brian McClair. There's a stat for everything.

    You’d be a fool to write off city even if they do lose this. But man, we’ve got a title race this year!

    Villa pushing for number two. Ollie Watkins has a shot and it is partially blocked but then falls for Douglas Luiz. But Ederson's reactions are superb as he is able to adjust and charge the strike down.

    Credit Manchester United in this match. They have started it with an aggression that we have not seen from this side.

    Scott McTominay has a chance for a hat-trick but misses.

    Another awful Rob Sanchez pass to Antony. The ball lands to McTominay, who tries to curl the ball into the far corner but gets it wrong.

    Paul: That Villa goal has been coming all game and is 100% deserved. Man City have been lost, clueless and rushed. On the off chance we get something from this game, I would feel dirty. We deserve nothing from this.
