Quotes
“We had a tough start to the season, I think everyone knows that, for different circumstances," Villa star Matty Cash said after his side's win over Tottenham.
“But all you can do in them times is work hard and try to do what we’ve been doing over the last few years – be resilient, score on the counter.
“We’ve picked up some great results, that’s five in a row now, so a really good win and hopefully we can keep the momentum.”
Head-to-Head
City secured a 2-1 win over Villa in their last meeting in the league, which was in April 2025 at the Etihad Stadium.
