Manchester City are aiming to become just the third team in Premier League history to win their opening eight games of the season when they take on Aston Villa away from home on Saturday.
The Cityzens secured their seventh successive league victory at the start of Enzo Maresca’s reign against the newly promoted Ipswich Town last weekend, although they were made to work by Gary O’Neil’s side.
Things came much easier in the week, as Maresca rotated and oversaw a convincing victory over AEK Athens on Matchday 3 of the Champions League, ensuring they bounced back from the 4–2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool at the start of their title triumph in 2019–20 and Chelsea, who began their title defense in 2005–06 with nine straight wins, make up the club Man City are desperate to join this weekend.
However, they’ll have to overcome a developing West Midlands hoodoo to do so. The Cityzens are winless on their previous four visits to Villa Park and have lost their last three. Combine that with Villa’s improvement over the past month, and this has the makings of a really tricky test for the visitors.
The hosts sit 12th in the table, and have won five of their previous six games in all competitions.
