Douglas Luiz came off the bench to briefly pull Villa level at Arsenal and remains at Villa Park despite the Gunners' deadline day interest in him. We know we can hurt this team, and I'm really looking forward to the game," Steven Gerrard said at his pre-match news conference. When Philippe Coutinho put Villa 2-0 up at the Etihad Stadium on the final day of last season, it looked like Pep Guardiola's side were about to surrender their title to Liverpool. Erling Haaland's hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest mean he has nine goals in his first five Premier League games — a competition record. They're both on the bench. The answer today is neither. Manuel Akanji, who signed from Borussia Dortmund this week, is absent due to the birth of his baby son. 10 mins from kickoff: We won't get to see City's latest arrival today. Even the most laid-back goalkeeper in the Premier League has to tune in a bit. Haaland drops in and acts as a massive wall in a wall pass with Silva.

But we were just not precise enough in the crosses, we missed a few situations and that’s why we could not score. We were not precise in our final third touches and our simple things, especially in the first half. “A lot of credit to [Steven] Gerrard because going into a big important game he didn’t let anyone feel pressure and that was important for the team. City had 73 percent of the ball and took 13 of the game’s 16 shots but Villa stayed tight. “Listen I’ve had to tweak a few things and look at myself behind the scenes. There were a lot fewer of the latter on Saturday, as Emiliano Martinez and Tyrone Mings kept the defending unit as compact as possible and ready to counter attack. City had all four of the game’s “big chances” but only scored once. Villa shows well: The goal came out of nothing, and so, in a sense, did the performance.
