How to watch Man City vs Aston Villa: TV channel and live stream for Premier League today

Manchester City welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium tonight in a huge clash in the race to qualify for the Champions League.

A win at Everton at the weekend saw City record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since January, underlining their inconsistency this season.

Not since October have City won three league games in a row, but another maximum against a fierce rival for a top-five finish would do wonders for their Champions League hopes.

Villa will be no pushovers, evidenced most recently with their 4-1 dismantling of third-placed Newcastle. However, they are looking to record their first league win at the Etihad Stadium in 18 years this evening.

Marcus Rashford will be pushing to start for Villa against City, having dropped out of the starting line-up for the win over Newcastle, while Phil Foden will be hoping to get the nod as he looks to reverse his poor form.
