What channel is Aston Villa v Manchester City Premier League match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time

Manchester City travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon with Enzo Maresca's side hoping to extend their perfect start to the season.

City, who beat Ipswich Town 3-2 last weekend with Erling Haaland netting a brace, are three points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League after winning all seven of their outings.

City's perfect start is marred by their incoming punishment for breaking financial regulations, however, and Maresca's men are actually among the favourites to be relegated this season in case they're hit with a major points deduction.

While City, who beat AEK Athens 5-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, are flying, Aston Villa are just starting to find their feet after a slow start to the campaign.

Unai Emery's side beat Viking 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday with Villa winning five of their last six games in all competitions.

Villa are currently 12th in the Premier League and a win on Saturday afternoon could see them climb up to sixth in the table.
