Last season Aston Villa performed unstably, which ultimately affected the team’s results and position in the standings. In the Premier League, the Lions have chalked up 13 wins and six draws, which equate to 45 points and 14th position. Not bad played the line of attack, which differed 52 times. Over the summer Steven Gerrard’s team included such performers as Diego Carlos from Sevilla (31 million) and Lander Dendonker from Wolves, for whom they paid 15 million euros. The team successfully started in the English League Cup, in which the Villains easily dealt with Bolton. After five rounds the hosts have only one victory over Everton (2:1) and four defeats, which brought the team to 19th place in the standings. In the last game, the team lost to Arsenal (1:2). Today will not be able to play Diego Carlos.
Last season Manchester City failed to achieve success in the Champions League. The Mancunians confidently passed the group stage, but lost to Real Madrid in the playoffs. The Premier League tournament ended with victory, where in 38 rounds the “citizens” chalked up 29 victories and issued the title of the best club in England. Traditionally, we were pleased with the transfer news. One cannot but note the move to the team of Erling Haaland for 60 million euros and Calvin Phillips from Leeds United (48.75 million). Remarkably, in the summer management sold more players, which ultimately brought in a profit of 159 million euros. The start of the new championship was successful. In five rounds, Pep Guardiola’s wards hit the opponents’ gates 19 times, while recording four victories and a draw with Newcastle (3:3). In the infirmary today are Akanji, Laporte, Mendy, Ake, Girlish, Mbete and Philips, who has a shoulder injury. More today soccer fixtures and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
