City beat Ipswich 3-2 but lost Semenyo to a knee injury that could keep him out until December. Anderson and Fernández return to the middle of the park and Cherki comes back at number 10, with Foden pushing for a place after a midweek hat-trick. Nunes and O'Reilly are rated 50% for the Villa game and are predicted subject to late fitness tests, while Kovačić is also at 50% and Haaland is no longer on the injury list.
