City's last league trip to Villa Park was also midweek, emerging as 2-1 victors last April.The hosts had gone ahead after only 20 seconds as John McGinn guided a shot past Ederson following Ollie Watkins' low cross.
The impressive Phil Foden then finished off a fine City team move to equalise before Rodri headed in what proved to be the winner following Bernardo Silva's cross.
In City's last league game, Ilkay Gundogan's first-half strike and Fernandinho's late finish inspired City to a 2-1 Premier League victory over West Ham United at a snow-laden Etihad Stadium.Riyad Mahrez wonderfully delivered into the box for Gundogan to tap in just after the half-hour mark.Fernandinho stroked in a late second goal, just minutes after coming onto the pitch.In the fourth and last minute of stoppage time, Manuel Lanzini scored a stunning consolation goal for the visitors.
Villa come into the game full of confidence after winning both of Steven Gerrard's matches since he took over as manager.Guardiola's side are also in superb form, winning the last three league matches, scoring seven and conceding just once in the process.City go into the game with 29 points from 13 matches, whilst Villa have 16 points from the same number of fixtures.
