Aston Villa's Advantage as Rodri Misses Manchester City Clash

Aston Villa is set to face Manchester City at Villa Park this Sunday, with a significant advantage as Pep Guardiola has confirmed that key midfielder Rodri will be unavailable due to a hamstring injury. The Spanish international has not participated in matches since October 5 and was optimistic about returning for the recent game against Everton; however, Guardiola stated Rodri will also miss their upcoming Champions League match and likely the Villa encounter.

Currently, Aston Villa is in excellent form, having won their last three Premier League games and remaining unbeaten in their last five. This positive streak has lifted them to 11th place in the league, just three points shy of the top four. A victory against City would bring them within one point of their rivals, who are in second place. Before the match against City, Villa will compete in the Europa League against Go Ahead Eagles, where they aim to continue their strong performance after recently defeating Feyenoord.
