Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are set to take on a Manchester City side led by fellow Spaniard Pep Guardiola at the historic Villa Park during their 2025/26 Premier League campaign. The Villans will be looking to take a step closer to their goal of securing UEFA Champions League football with victory here against the Cityzens in B6.

This is set to be a crucial game for the hosts, and this will create an incredible atmosphere for what will also be an enthralling and highly competitive match with both sides favouring an attractive style of play. Both sides are prolific in front of goal which creates even more excitement and hype ahead of this contest getting underway in the Second City.

Following the dismissal of his predecessor Steven Gerrard, Unai Emery was unveiled as his replacement in October 2022, with him officially taking charge a month later in November 2022. By the end of the 2022/23 season, he had completely turned the club’s fortunes around and it was a 7th place finish for the Villans with 61 points, which was enough for them to secure a place in the UEFA Conference League.

The transformation in Aston Villa’s fortunes continued in Emery’s second season in charge in 2023/24. This campaign saw the West Midlands club beat pre-season expectations to finish as high as 4th place with a total of 68 points having been accumulated from their 38 matches, which was enough for qualification for the UEFA Champions League to be secured.

As for the Villans’ Europa Conference League campaign that year, they made it to the Semi Finals, where they were knocked out just one step before the Final by the eventual winners Olympiacos, who were winners on aggregate over two legs against their English counterparts.

Last season (2024/25), Aston Villa was able to have a good campaign. In the league, it was to be a very commendable 6th place finish for the Villans with 66 points, which was enough for UEFA Europa League Football for the 2025/26 season, having very narrowly missed out on the Champions League for another season on goal difference alone.

Moving on to Manchester City, their Head Coach Pep Guardiola has been there ever since he succeeded Manuel Pellegrini at the club all the way back on 1st February 2016.

Over the years, he has won 18 trophies whilst being in charge of the Cityzens, which includes 6 Premier League titles, 2 FA Cups, and 4 Carabao Cup titles, as well as leading the club to its maiden UEFA Champions League crown in the 2023 Final, when a goal from Rodri was enough to win them the game in Istanbul in the end.

On Manchester City’s most recent visit to Villa Park back on 21st December 2024 at B6 in the Premier League, the Villans were able to emerge with a 2 – 1 victory thanks to goals from Jhon Duran (16’) and former City academy player Morgan Rogers (65’). Meanwhile, it was Phil Foden who scored the only goal for the Cityzens in this game, and it came deep into the second half stoppage time (90+3’).

Overall, Aston Villa and Manchester City have gone head to head in competitive matches in all competitions on no less than 183 times, and it is City with the superior record of 82 victories to Villa’s 59 over the years. So far, there have been 42 draws between them as of the time of writing.
