Manchester City v Aston Villa

• 1230 BST kick-off on BT Sport

Man City are usually so strong at the Etihad, so it was a surprise to see Wolves stun Pep Guardiola's side in their last home game.

They bounced back convincingly at Crystal Palace and it really is difficult to see Aston Villa making it back-to-back Etihad defeats for them in the Premier League.

Although...Norwich beat Man City at Carrow Road, while Aston Villa thrashed Norwich at Carrow Road - does that mean something? Probably not, but it can give those optimistic Villa fans a glimmer of hope.

Other than that result in Norfolk, Smith's side have struggled away from Villa Park, so how do they prepare for it?

Reported by Birmingham Live, Smith said: "There's two ways to approach this game. You can say, 'oh no, we're going to Man City or it can be, 'right, we're going to Manchester City and it's a great opportunity to show what we're all about' and, hopefully, our players will take the latter. We're going out against a good team, we've got to concentrate, work hard but they're humans. City have given up a few chances this season. Atalanta scored a pen. Teams have had opportunities against them. The ones you get, you have to take."
