Manchester City enters the match full of confidence after their recent 2-0 win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League — a game that saw Marmoush return to action. The winger delivered a solid performance, showing strong fitness and technical readiness that could earn him more minutes in the upcoming fixtures.

Marmoush hopes Pep Guardiola will grant him more playing time to prove his worth and rediscover his scoring touch, as he aims to establish himself firmly in the City lineup this season.

Meanwhile, Cityunder Pep Guardiola’s leadershipwill be looking to claim another victory to maintain pressure on Arsenal in the title race. The defending champions have earned 16 points this season from five wins, one draw, and two defeats, scoring 17 goals and conceding just 6. 🏆

The team will once again rely on their Norwegian goal machine Erling Haaland, who tops the Premier League scoring charts with 11 goals, along with 4 goals in the Champions League, as he continues his record-breaking run.

Guardiola expressed satisfaction with his side’s form, saying: “I feel that my team has returned to its usual level. Last season was difficult, but the way we’re playing now gives me confidence and happiness.”

On the other hand, Aston Villa currently sits on 12 points after three wins, three draws, and two losses. The team hopes to capitalize on home advantage to secure a positive result against the former champions, despite their recent inconsistency  including a surprising 2-1 defeat to Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League.
