Aston Villa 2-0 Man City
What will this do to Aston Villa's season?
They're already riding high in the Champions League and, if they finish the job here, they will climb to fifth in the Premier League.
It's Newcastle away next for Uni Emery's men. It looks like they will be heading there with confidence sky high.

You can never write this City team off. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving their fall from grace, but it will only be a temporary one.

Aston Villa 2-0 Man City
More frustration for Manchester City as Josko Gvardiol lunges into John McGinn resulting in a booking for the City player.
Jeremy Doku has just come on for the visitors.
Surely it's too late to save the game?

Man City remind me of Novak Djokovic. Once he held all 4 Grand Slams then had some of the worst form of his career. Seems same as City now they got that 4th title in a row. Question of how to be motivated once all records have been reached.

Now a big chance for Ollie Watkins.
Manchester City's defence is once again sliced open by Morgan Rogers' excellent pass and Watkins is clean through.
He hammers it straight at Stefan Ortega.
Aston Villa 2-0 Man City
Ollie Watkins for Jhon Duran who deservedly receives a standing ovation as he comes off. He's proved as good as getting goals when he starts as scoring when he comes off the bench.

In the first half it was difficult for Erling Haaland to get on the ball as Villa were in a low block.
In this second half it has been a lot more even, but Villa have been comfortable.
It has been difficult for Man City to have any attacking momentum at all.

Villa are oozing confidence. They have been excellent.
Meanwhile, Manchester City are in a serious rut. They're hurtling towards another defeat.

Has Pep never played the Football Manager series? He just needs to arrange a couple of friendlies against really small local teams and organise a few more Team Bonding and Community Outreach sessions. Should be golden again in no time.

Manchester City could finish the weekend as low as NINTH in the table. Remarkable.

Should Pep have gone in the summer? Two trebles and 4 PLs in a row. What more did he need to accomplish at City?

Kevin de Bruyne and Jeremy Doku remain on the bench as the game drifts away from the visitors.
Suddenly, an attempt by Phil Foden who catches it sweetly outside the box but Emi Martinez is equal to it.
Aston Villa 2-0 Man City
Pep Guardiola has to do something and the Manchester City boss is making his second change. Savinho is on for Ilkay Gundogan, who has once again been under-par.

A penny for Pep's thoughts? Would love to know what is going on in his mind right this moment, what is he thinking about regarding this City team, if you was an outsider looking in you'd never guess that this was a team that won four premier leagues in a row.

Manchester City are being opened up time and again.
It's astonishing to watch.

The weekend might finish with Manchester City close to being completely outside even the Europa spots. Gone.

This is right up there with the win over Bayern Munich.
A day to remember for Aston Villa as it stands.
But they still have work to do.

It is incredible from Morgan Rogers.
From a City point of view it is really untidy, but the finish shows you the confidence Rogers has.

Arsenal have lost just two of their last 19 away league games against Crystal Palace (W10 D7), with both defeats coming in the Premier League by a 3-0 scoreline (April 2017, April 2022).
Crystal Palace have alternated between defeat (4) and victory (3) in their last seven Premier League home London derby matches, losing 2-0 against Fulham last time out at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal are unbeaten in all nine of their Premier League London derby matches in 2024 (W7 D2). The last team to go unbeaten in such matches in a full calendar year were Chelsea in 2005 (W9 D1), while the last time Arsenal did so was in 2004 (W7 D3).
Having lost five of their first eight Premier League games this season (D3), Crystal Palace have now lost just one of their last eight (W3 D4), and are unbeaten in their last five (W2 D3). The Eagles are looking for back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since a run of three in May.
Arsenal kept nine clean sheets in 10 Premier League away games between February and September, but since then have conceded in each of their last six on the road. The Gunners last had a longer run without an away shutout between August and December 2019 (7).
Excluding penalties, Arsenal have scored more set piece goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (9). Meanwhile, 35% of Crystal Palace’s 17 Premier League goals this term have come from set pieces (excluding penalties), with only Everton (57%) netting a higher such share.
No team has had more Premier League goals scored via defenders this season than Arsenal (7, level with Manchester City), while Crystal Palace have had the highest share of their Premier League goals this term come from defenders (29% - 5/17).
Since joining Crystal Palace from Arsenal earlier this season, Eddie Nketiah has had 20 shots in 11 Premier League games without scoring. Four players have had their first Premier League goal for a club come against Arsenal having previously played for the Gunners in the competition – Kevin Campbell (Nottingham Forest, 1995), Nicolas Anelka (Bolton, 2006), David Bentley (Tottenham, 2008) and Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham, 2023).
Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has scored more Premier League goals against Crystal Palace than he has vs any other opponent (5). Three of these have been as a substitute, with no Gunners player scoring more from the bench against a specific opponent in the competition.
