Pep Guardiola has made changes in attack as Manchester City host Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium tonight.

A 2-0 win at Everton last time out saw City record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since January, but it was a taxing effort at Goodison Park as late goals from defender Nico O’Reilly and midfielder Mateo Kovacic secured three valuable points.

Those two should keep their place, with Kovacic set to make his 200th Premier League appearance, but Savinho and Bernardo Silva will be sweating over their starting spots as Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku push to return to the line-up.

Doku has been restricted to substitute appearances in the last three games against Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Everton, which Guardiola explained to reporters ahead of the game.

Omar Marmoush should keep his spot, but Kevin De Bruyne may also be looking over his shoulder.

Further back. Stefan Ortega is expected to start again after Ederson again missed out over the weekend due to injury. Manuel Akanji made his return from injury with a late cameo off the bench, but is unlikely to be handed a start three days later.

Abdukodir Khusanov appears to have lost his starting spot despite an eye-catching start to life at City.
