We welcome Unai Emery’s side to the Etihad Stadium for a 20:15 (UK) kick-off on Wednesday evening.
It’s the reverse fixture to our last defeat in all competitions - a 1-0 loss at Villa Park on 6 December 2023 after Leon Bailey’s second half strike secured the win for our opponents.
Ahead of tonight’s meeting, we look back on some classic City moments against the Villans.
First up is Georgi Kinkladze’s close-range strike from 1995 before Rodrigo‘s right-footed effort in an iconic win over Villa in 2022.
But what other City goals feature to top off the latest instalment of our left foot, right foot, header series?
