‘Utter stupidity’ – Some of the Villa fans are unhappy with 23-yr-old’s display last night
Aston Villa continued their horrendous run of form in the Premier League with a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last night. Dean Smith’s side managed to take an early lead through John McGinn but the League leaders put on an impressive come back to secure all three points eventually. Villa have now won just two of their last ten Premier League matches and Smith will be under tremendous pressure to turn his side’s form around. Villa looked quite vulnerable at the back last night and the fans will be disappointed with the performance of Matty Cash in particular. The 23-year-old full-back made quite a few wrong decisions and he put his teammates under continuous pressure. Cash was eventually sent off in the second half for a couple of reckless challenges. Manchester City midfielder Phil Fo...

Predicted Aston Villa XI vs Man City: Smith to make one change, 25-yr-old to start
Aston Villa host Manchester City in the Premier League later tonight and they will be hoping to bounce back from their defeat against Liverpool last time out. Dean Smith’s side have failed to win five of their last six Premier League matches and they will be under pressure to win here.

The home side will be without the services of Trezeguet, Jack Grealish and Morgan Sanson due to injuries. Brazil...
