Aston Villa v Manchester City | CotC with Lee Jackson & Jonny Pringle | Planet FPL 2024/25

James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the Saturday lunchtime meeting at Villa Park.

Have Villa's excellent results in the Champions League and the fact they are above the teams they would expect to be competing against in the race for a top 5 finish, masked concerns over league results?

And where do you start with City? An almost unthinkable 8 defeats 11 games. There's discussion on lack of investment, the quality of the players and how much blame should Pep Guardiola take for what's going on? And can City fix this?

Plus, FPL discussion on Erling Haaland, City defensive assets, what it would take to want to invest in Phil Foden or Kevin De Bruyne, if Jhon Duran now poses a serious threat to Ollie Watkins place, if Villa can be looked at defensively with a nice fixture swing from Gameweek 19 and if Morgan Rogers should be holding a player that looks like he could really hurt Saturday's opponents.
