Teamsheets: Man City vs Aston Villa

Written by Dan on October 15, 2011

We’re back in action for what is the first really big test for Alex McLeish since he came to Villa, possibly one of the toughest of the season, but also as good a time as any to play Man City at their own place.

Over the last 10 times this league fixture has been played, we’ve won just two and lost eight times. No wonder the Castrol Football Prediction doesn’t think much of our chances.

Here’s how McLeish is looking to grab something:

Man City Aston Villa
25 Joe Hart 1 Shay Given
2 Micah Richards 2 Alan Hutton
4 Vincent Kompany 5 Richard Dunne
6 Joleon Lescott 21 Ciaran Clark
22 Gaël Clichy 3 Stephen Warnock
34 Nigel de Jong 16 Fabian Delph
18 Gareth Barry 19 Stiliyan Petrov
42 Yaya Touré 7 Stephen Ireland
11 Adam Johnson 18 Emile Heskey
7 James Milner 11 Gabriel Agbonlahor
45 Mario Balotelli 9 Darren Bent
