Think we can win the midfield battle against their old men line up.

Wasn't it Carlos that kept Haaland in his pocket this time last year?

Their defence looks a lot more solid. I worry about our centre backs against Haaland. Also we lack pace so we need to be really dynamic.

The BBC chooses to feature some dingus messaging in to say 'bet Aston Villa will be thinking there has never been a better time to get three points from Man City.'

Now. I understand this will just be some braindead member of the public, fine. But we won this corresponding fixture literally last season. Does the BBC employ fish now? Morons.

I hope we're not considering offloading Mings in January.
