Manchester City and Aston Villa both come into this midweek Premier League fixture after having played over the weekend. Neither side fared well as Manchester City were losers on the road while the Villains dropped two points at home.
Manchester City fell on the road to the Hammers of West Ham United over the weekend at the Boleyn Ground by a score of 2-0. The side managed by Mark Hughes were coming off of a 1-1 draw away to Liverpool at Anfield Road. Man City are now 11th in the Premier League table with 32 points. On the injury front the Citizens are set to be without Hamman, Johnson and Petrov while Mwaruwari, Fernandes and Sturridge are doubtful.
Aston Villa were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Stoke City at Villa Park in their last match. That makes two straight matches in which the side managed by Martin O'Neill have failed to win at home. They now sit in 4th place of the Premiership log with 52 points, 3 back of 3rd place Liverpool. As has been the case for some time, Laursen is set to miss out for the Villains this week.
