Guardiola remains calm: No transfers for Mancity in January!

Villa Park, Birmingham, United Kingdom - An exciting duel is imminent! On Saturday at 12:30 p.m. (GMT), Aston Villa meets the troublesome defending champion Manchester City in the legendary Villa Park in Birmingham. The question that moves everyone: Can City finally return to the winning road?

The situation at Manchester City is tense. Trainer Pep Guardiola has made it clear that in January he will not sign new players to cope with the current crisis. "I don't know. That will be decided at the end of the season," said Guardiola. The four-time Premier League champions have only won in the last 11 games and had to accept eight defeats. A nightmare for the fans!

Guardiola fights with injuries

The injury misery at City does not end! Defense player Ruben Dias is expected to fail for four weeks after being injured against Manchester United. "After 75 minutes against United, he felt something. He is strong and wanted to continue playing, but now he is hurt," said Guardiola. Rodri has also been missing the team for a long time, and goalkeeper Ederson is also questionable. The list of injured players is getting longer and longer!

But Guardiola remains optimistic: "I think the squad is really good. It's not about whether the players are good or bad." He hopes for the return of his key players to bring about the turn. "If we all have back, we will see what happens in winter," he added.

On the other side of the medal, Aston Villa is now in seventh place after a strong last season in which they took fourth place and qualified for the Champions League. Trainer Unai Emery is optimistic despite a defeat against Nottingham Forest. "Of course it's a very hard game, but the motivation to play against Manchester City is great," said Emery. A victory could catapult villa in fifth place and possibly even secure fourth place if they win with three goals.

The villains have found their shape in the last games and are ready to challenge the battered cityzens. "We are in the league and try to improve," emphasized Emery. The fans can look forward to a gripping match!

The balance between the two teams speaks for City, which won 81 times in 182 matches. But Villa surprised in the last meeting in December last year with a 1-0 win. The tension increases - who will be the winner?

The line -up of the two teams is not yet final, but Villa can count on Tyrone Mings and Leon Bailey. John Stones could return to City, while the list of injuries remains worrying.

The duel between Aston Villa and Manchester City promises to become a real spectacle. All eyes are aimed at Villa Park - who will win the upper hand?
