The visitors from Manchester start the home side’s build-up game earlier and put goalkeeper Martínez under pressure. At the last moment, Digne can clear Haaland.

The English champions are trying to find Haaland again with a long ball. The Norwegian runs around 14 meters from the goal into the cross and runs freely towards Martínez. But the host goalkeeper stopped for a long time and parried the ex-Dortmunder’s shot from a central position of around 13 meters.

After about half an hour, Man City is still the slightly better team, but the guests don’t get in front of goal as well as they did at the beginning of the game. The Villans deliver better now.

First of all, the Pole Cash returns to the field. But Young warms up on the sidelines.

At Aston Villa, Cash is down after a duel and needs treatment. He grabs the back of his thigh. It doesn’t seem to go on for the Pole.

De Bruyne sends Foden down the left. He prevails against Cash in the SPrint duel and moves into the sixteen. But then he loses the ball, but the guests follow suit and João Cancelo’s shot is blocked for a corner. João Cancelo takes the following corner from de Bruyne from the left with a right half right in front of the box about 15 meters away. His shot flies halfway up the goal, about two meters to the left!

Free kick for the guests! After a standard from around 30 meters from the left, Mings climbs up the right side of the penalty area. His header from around eleven meters is too imprecise.

18:46
Gundogan again! De Bruyne gets past his opponent on the right flank and crosses a ball from around 25 meters inside the box into the box. Gündoğan sprints to the first post and only misses the cross by centimetres!

After about a quarter of an hour, the guests are the team that decides the game and keep coming through the center. The hosts are just waiting so far and attacking the master’s game at most from midfield.

18:43
Gündoğan is always in the spotlight. Until now, he often played the last pass in depth and distributed the balls to his teammates.

18:41
De Bruyne! After a ricochet Gündoğan is there and puts the ball on the right side to De Bruyne. He moves into the right penalty area and shoots flat on goal from around 14 meters. But he doesn’t hit the ball properly and the leather flies several meters past the box to the left.

After about seven minutes, Mancity has more game shares and keeps trying to overcome the defense with long balls. But this time the long pass to Gündoğan is a bit too imprecise and goalkeeper Martínez saves the ball.

18:36
Gündoğan places the ball from the center to Walker on the right side of the penalty area. He runs a few steps towards the goal and shoots at the goal from a tight angle – just wide to the right!

The Citizens start the home side’s build-up game from the start and win the ball in midfield. They settle in the opposing half.

The game is running. Referee Hooper clears the game. The Villans clink glasses.
18:23
The start of the season was very different for the English champions. Manchester City are unbeaten this season, having won four and drawn one in five games. This puts the team of head coach Pep Guardiola in third place in the Premier League with 13 points. Most recently, the team around striker Erling Haaland won 6-0 against Nottingham.
18:13
Aston Villa started the season poorly, claiming just one win from their last five Premier League games. Head coach Steven Gerrard’s team only narrowly won 2-1 against Everton on the second day of the game, otherwise there were only defeats. This puts Villa in 19th place with just three points.
18:00
Visiting head coach Pep Guardiola also made a change to his starting line-up after beating Nottingham 6-0 last matchday. For Álvarez, de Bruyne starts.
17:50
Villa head coach Steven Gerrard makes just one change following last matchday’s defeat. Douglas Luiz is in the starting XI for Buendia today.
17:30
Welcome to day six of the Premier League. Aston Villa host English champions Manchester City at 18.30 at Villa Park. Referee Simon Hooper officiates the game.
