Manchester City will look to extend their unbeaten Premier League record to six matches when they face Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
The defending champions made it 13 points from a possible 15 on Wednesday as they posted a 6-0 triumph over Nottingham Forest.
However, Pep Guardiola has had to contend with a number of injury issues in recent weeks and will hope that the club's treatment room becomes less occupied as soon as possible.
