Aston Villa will look to return to winning ways on Sunday when they host Manchester City in the Premier League.

Unai Emery’s side suffered a shock defeat at Go Ahead Eagles on Thursday night, as the hosts came from a goal behind to claim victory.

Evann Guessand opened the scoring inside four minutes, but Villa then missed a series of chances to extend their lead.

Mathis Suray made them pay for those missed opportunities when he equalised before half-time, and Mats Deijl completed the comeback on the hour mark.

Emi Buendia missed a late penalty, blowing the chance to salvage a point from a miserable trip to Deventer.

Emery made seven changes for the clash with Go Ahead Eagles and is expected to make a number of alterations to his team once again this weekend.

Emi Martínez should continue in goal, behind a defence likely to consist of Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, and Pau Torres, though Ian Maatsen may stay at left-back considering Lucas Digne missed Thursday night through injury.
