Aston Villa v Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates

9 mins: A bit better from City, who build some pressure. The big concern is how fragile they look to the counter-attack. Cash gets a ring of cheers as he crunches into Grealish by the touchline.

8 mins: An absolutely shambolic start from City, with Josko Gvardiol almost gifting Villa the lead within 15 seconds. City may be glad Ederson is injured, given the two early saves Stefan Ortega has made. Jhon Duran is very lively for Villa. Ominously for City, Villa look quick on the break.

6 mins: The goal-line technology was needed, and replays show that Torres’ header was mostly over the line.

But Ortega clawed it out before it could fully cross, so it’s still 0-0.

5 mins: The boos turn into jeers as Grealish cuts into the box and shoots wide.

It’s end to end here. McGinn breaks forward down the right and almost slides in Duran.

Akanji slides in to cut it out.

3 min: Man City clear the third corner, and breath a sigh of relief. Duran should have scored and then Ortega made a brilliant stop to deny Torres.

A few boos for Grealish as he gets his first touches on the left wing.

1 mins: SAVE! Huge save from Ortega to keep McGinn’s corner out! It was Torres’ header actually, Ortega clawed it off the line. Then he tips over McGinn’s deep corner.

And an early chance for Aston Villa! Incredible. 20 seconds in, Gvardiol slips and Jhon Duran is through!

He takes it so, so early and Ortega saves easily, pushing behind for a corner.

The match is being shown on TNT Sports 1 and Discovery+.

‘Crazy Train’ rings out at Villa Park.

It’s been crazy times for Manchester City of late. One win in 11 games.

Can they start to turn it around this afternoon or will Unai Emery increase the misery on the champions?

Aston Villa’s only victory in the past 17 meetings in all competitions was by 1-0 at home in the Premier League on 6 December last year. Unai Emery’s side can earn consecutive home league wins against Manchester City for the first time since 1993.

After defeat at Villa Park last year, Man City didn’t lose again in the Premier League and went on to lift their fourth title in a row under Pep Guardiola. How they could use a run like that now… but it does not look likely on current form.

Eight defeats in City’s past 11 matches in all competitions is as many as they lost in their previous 106 fixtures, and they are winless in seven successive away games in all competitions for the first time since a run of 10 from January to April 2011 under Roberto Mancini.

The champions have earned just four points from their past seven Premier League fixtures, a joint-low alongside Southampton.
