Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team could be missing five players for the Premier League encounter against Aston Villa.
Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne is on the mend after suffering a hamstring injury early in the season, while Rodri and Jack Grealish – against his former club – are suspended. Matheus Nunes (muscular) and Jeremy Doku (unspecified) are both doubts for City.
