Manchester City responded to their lackluster 0-0 draw against Arsenal last weekend by easily defeating Aston Villa in the middle of the week. This success was largely attributed to Phil Foden’s impressive hat-trick, contributing to a 4-1 win over Unai Emery’s team.

Fortunately, City does not have any new injury concerns as they approach a crucial series of games. They are optimistic that Ederson has made substantial improvement and will be ready to play in the upcoming matches.

Kyle Walker is currently under pressure to recover in time for the upcoming match against Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the extent of Nathan Ake’s injury, which occurred in the first half against Mikel Arteta’s team, is still uncertain.

Prior to the formal announcement of the team news from Selhurst Park, sources on social media have started providing information on Pep Guardiola’s selection, with the initial details being shared by The FPL Newsletter.
