Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Aston Villa

Manchester City will be looking to record their fifth straight win in all competitions when they travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side have overcome Sheffield United and Everton in their last two league matches, in addition to beating Port Vale and Manchester United in the FA Cup and EFL Cup respectively.

The Citizens still have serious ground to make up in the Premier League, though, as they sit third in the table, 14 points off runaway leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash at Villa Park.
