Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Aston Villa clash: Rodri, Khusanov, Gonzalez latest

Manchester City will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 matches when they travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens have won each of their last three top-flight matches, including last weekend’s 2-0 home victory over Everton, and they sit just three points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola’s side secured a routine 2-0 win away against Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, even without a couple of first-team players in the treatment room.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend’s contest with Unai Emery’s side.
