Premier League Preview: Aston Villa versus Manchester City
Aston Villa are looking to host Manchester City in a game that is being hailed as a competition between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Bent-c10358 and Edin Dzeko.
This is because both Bent and Dzeko were two of the biggest signings that were made in the January 2011 transfer window and it will be a test for the duo to prove which move was the better one.
If Bent steps on the pitch to take on City, then he will be making his much-awaited debut for Villa. Bent joined the team at Villa Park after an astounding 24-million-pound deal, which saw him leave Sunderland and join the Villans.
Aston Villa will also be looking to reuse the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emile-Heskey-c12468 on the other hand, will still be missing for the team as he will be
serving out the last game of his three-match suspension.
However, Villa will be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stephen-Ireland-c34149, who are out due to minor injuries.
Edin Dzeko is almost a sure shot to feature in the City line-up along with Carlos Tevez upfront. This is because City will be looking to win against Villa on the night, to give their title challenge a major push in the right direction.
Dzeko made his debut for City recently, when he played against the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952. The player’s presence was greatly felt throughout the game and despite the fact that he could not score, he looked to be worth the 27 million pounds that were spent on him.
The trio of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Barry-c14423 are all currently scheduled to reclaim their spots in the starting eleven for City.
According to most experts, the game is going to be an evenly fought out battle until the end. However, what is going to be the highlight on the night is watching Bent play in a Villa shirt for the first time and go up against the high-flying Citizens.
If Bent can maintain the same form that he displayed with the Black Cats, then he could probably justify the outrageous fee that Villa paid for him.
