da cassino online: With everything that has happened in the last few days, Manchester City fans would be forgiven if they had forgotten that their side take on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.
da bwin: Pep Guardiola’s side can take a huge step towards the title with three points at Villa Park, although if recent reports are to be believed, the result may not matter at all, as the Citizens could soon find themselves kicked out of the Premier League and maybe even stripped of their titles.
Despite this, the players must try and focus on the immediate future and earn the win against Dean Smith’s side, who will be looking to avenge their controversial loss at the Etihad earlier this season.
City fell to a 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup semi-final last time out after Guardiola made plenty of changes and it seems likely that he will rotate his squad again on Wednesday night, especially with the Carabao Cup Final to come on Sunday.
Here’s how we think Guardiola will line his side up at Villa Park, with eight changes from the side that started against Chelsea on Saturday…
After strangely being rested in the FA Cup semi-final, Ederson reclaims his place in between the sticks for this one.
There are three changes in defence, as Oleksandr Zinchenko replaces Benjamin Mendy at left-back, Kyle Walker comes in for the disappointing Joao Cancelo at right-back and John Stones resumes his partnership with Ruben Dias at centre-back, with “the best in the world” Aymeric Laporte dropping to the bench.
In midfield, Fernandinho is replaced by Ilkay Gundogan, whilst Bernardo Silva starts in the absence of the injured Kevin De Bruyne.
After disappointing displays at Wembley, both Raheem Sterling and Ferran Torres are axed by Guardiola, with the more in-form duo Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez starting at Villa Park, and they support Gabriel Jesus in attack.
And, in other news… Pep handed ideal opportunity to axe “remarkable” Man City gem, he’s been awful
