Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola implemented a major change to the team’s pre-match routine before their Premier League win against Aston Villa, which saw Phil Foden scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium. This win came after back-to-back draws in previous league matches against Arsenal and Liverpool, keeping City three points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Foden’s hat-trick was crucial in securing the win for Manchester City, with Jhon Duran scoring the only goal for Aston Villa. Guardiola made several changes to the starting lineup, with Foden retaining his place, while key players like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were on the bench. Rico Lewis, Jack Grealish, and Jeremy Doku were also in the starting lineup for City.
In addition to the lineup changes, Guardiola introduced a new pre-match routine, holding an extra training session on the morning of the match. This additional tactical work seemed to have paid off as City put on an impressive performance against Aston Villa. The squad will face Crystal Palace next and will be looking to continue their winning streak to move up in the league standings.
