Manchester City will look to stem the bleeding when they travel to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side are suffering a rare crisis as five losses this season have left them in fifth place in the league.

They must also bounce back from an agonising defeat to Manchester United last time out.

While Villa haven't hit the heights of last season so far, they are impressing in the Champions League and are only two points behind City in the Premier League.

Here is all you need to know about the match:

When and where is it on?

The match is scheduled for a 12.30pm kick-off at Villa Park on Saturday, 21 December.

How can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on TNT Sports 1 and discovery+.
