Manchester City vs Aston Villa LIVE!

Phil Foden scored a brilliant hat-trick as Manchester City kept the pressure on in the Premier League title race with a 4-1 win over Champions League-chasing Aston Villa. A day after defending his star striker against criticism from Roy Keane, Pep Guardiola left Erling Haaland on the bench alongside Kevin De Bruyne, clearing the stage for Foden to grab the spotlight with an outstanding performance and his second hat-trick of the campaign.

After Jhon Duran cancelled out Rodri’s opener, the 23-year-old put City back in front with a free-kick late in the first half before two excellent strikes settled it just after the hour mark, taking Foden to 21 City goals for the season. Pep Guardiola’s side remain third, a point behind leaders Arsenal and level with Liverpool – who host Sheffield United on Thursday – after their first win over a top-five side this term.

But while little has changed in the table, this was a far more fluid performance from the champions days after Arsenal ended their run of 57 consecutive home games with a goal. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog!

NEWSErling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne DROPPED for Manchester City Premier League clash with Aston VillaPublished: 18:32 on April 3rd 2024 | Last Updated: 18:32 on April 3rd 2024By Harry Winters

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dropped duo Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne for Wednesday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium.

The treble-winners are looking to reignite their hopes of winning a fourth successive Premier League title on Wednesday evening, after back-to-back draws against both Liverpool and Arsenal saw Manchester City lose key ground in the title race.

Manchester City were held to a goalless draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with the result leaving the Sky Blues three points off the top of the Premier League table and two points behind the Gunners.

Aston Villa could move to within two points of Manchester City and take a giant step towards UEFA Champions League qualification with a win at the Etihad Stadium, with Unai Emery’s side the last team to beat Guardiola’s in any competition.

City are unbeaten across all competitions since a 1-0 loss at Villa Park in early December, when Leon Bailey’s deflected second-half effort secured three points for the home team.

Guardiola’s side had a formidable record against Villa prior to a defeat in the reverse fixture, but with the Blues’ title defence on the line, the 53-year-old has reportedly made two huge selection decisions ahead of Wednesday night’s clash.

According to the information of reputable X user ‘FPL Maine Road’, neither Erling Haaland or Kevin De Bruyne start for Manchester City against Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening.

The pair both started Sunday’s goalless draw with Arsenal, but have been subject to recent fitness concerns, as De Bruyne missed international duty with Belgium due to a groin injury and Haaland left a Norway training session early due to an issue.

Haaland has scored only two goals in his past five Manchester City appearances, and has failed to score in any of the Blues’ past three games.

De Bruyne has made seven starts for Manchester City since returning from a five-month absence after undergoing hamstring surgery in August.

As well as Wednesday’s meeting with Villa, City travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon and face a crunch UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash with Real Madrid next Tuesday.

‘I wanted to slap myself’: Varane opens up on his big mistake that allowed Man City eliminate Madrid from Champions League.

Back in 2020, Raphael Varane made two calamitous errors that allowed Manchester City to eliminate Real Madrid from the Champions League round of 16 after a 2-1 loss in Manchester. Varane has now blamed it on concussion.

“I have had several concussions,” Varane tells L’Equipe.

Back in 2020, Raphael Varane made two calamitous errors that allowed Manchester City to eliminate Real Madrid from the Champions League round of 16 after a 2-1 loss in Manchester. Varane has now blamed it on concussion.

“I have had several concussions,” Varane tells L’Equipe.

In the 70th minute, Varane would make another blunder during an aerial duel to allow Gabriel to score City’s second. The game ended 2-1.

Real Madrid are up against City again in the Champions League quarter-final next week. Hopefully, this time there will be no individual errors to recount.

Formula One is renowned for being the playground of the richest people in the world, with its glitzy weekends in the likes of Monaco and Las Vegas.

But it is not only the fans and the drivers who have deep pockets, the people running the teams are also worth an astonishing amount of money. Red Bull are currently the sport’s leading team, having won the last two constructors titles.

Before that, Mercedes dominated F1, winning eight successive world championships. The two sides are led by Christian Horner and Toto Wolff respectively, with the duo two of the most recognisable faces connected with the sport.

The pair also led the way in terms of the amount of money each team boss is worth. Here, Mirror Sport looks at the net worths of all 10 team principals and how they compare.

Max Verstappen’s trusted ally opens up on decision to quit Red Bull – ‘It was like a break up’
1) Toto Wolff – net worth £1.27bn
Blowing his rivals out of the water is Mercedes boss Toto Wolff. The Austrian became a billionaire last April, also landing a spot on the official list of Forbes Sports Billionaires.

As well as acting as team principal of the Silver Arrows, Wolff also works as the team’s chief executive and has a 33 per cent stake in them. That stake increased in value by more than £475million last year, which drove Wolff’s net worth.

Before buying his stake in Mercedes, Wolff worked in banking, gaining wealth after founding two investment firms. Along with his other ventures, Mercedes’ success over the past decade has made him one of the richest men in the sport.

2) Christian Horner – net worth £40m

Way behind Wolff in second place is Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. He reportedly earns an annual salary of around £8m, making him the highest-paid team boss in the paddock.

Horner has worked for Red Bull since 2004, having previously founded the Arden team in the junior formulas. His high salary comes from the success Red Bull have achieved under his watch, winning seven Drivers’ titles and six Constructors’ championships.

3) Alessandro Alunni Bravi – net worth £4m

While not technically Sauber’s team principal, Alessandro Alunni Bravi is their ‘team representative’ under chief executive Andreas Seidl and handles the duties of team boss. Bravi replaced Fred Vasseur after his move to Ferrari.

Bravi has been on Sauber’s board for several years, having trained as a lawyer. He has also been the Swiss team’s general counsel since 2017 and previously worked as the team principal of teams in Formula 2.

4) James Vowles – net worth £4m

Williams boss James Vowles is one of the new boys to the role, having joined the storied British team ahead of last season. Before joining Williams, Vowles had been one of the key men behind Mercedes’ dominance, working as their strategy director.

That would have put him in one of the Silver Arrows’ highest-paid jobs. Vowles worked his way up through the ranks at the Brackley team, having held jobs when it was branded as BAR, Honda, Brawn and finally Mercedes.

5) Fred Vasseur – net worth £2.5m

While midtable currently, Fred Vasseur will likely move well up the list given he has taken one of F1’s top jobs. Now in his second season as Ferrari’s team principal, Vasseur was previously in charge of Sauber and Renault.

He actually started his career with the Scuderia, working as a performance engineer for Michael Schumacher during his dominant years. He returned to the Italian giants in 2022, with his salary as team principal expected to hit £4m in the coming years.

6) Andrea Stella – net worth £1.2m

Like Vowles, Andrea Stella is also in his first team principal job, having taken over at McLaren from Andreas Seidl. Stella has been a long-time presence in the paddock with a number of teams.

Before taking the top job at McLaren, Stella worked as their racing director, likely one of the team’s highest-paid roles. Though chief executive Zak Brown takes many of the headlines, Stella has been credited with leading McLaren’s remarkable turnaround last season.

7) Laurent Mekies – net worth £1m

Laurent Mekies is F1’s newest team principal having replaced Franz Tost at RB-Honda, following the veteran’s retirement. Before joining Red Bull’s junior team, Mekkies was in the lucrative role of Ferrari’s sporting director.

It has been a difficult season for Mekies and RB, where he had a nine-year stint as chief engineer from 20015 to 2014. Before joining Ferrari as sporting director, he was safety director and deputy race director at the FIA.

8) Mike Krack – net worth £805,000

Mike Krack is another first-time team principal having replaced Otmar Szafnauer at Aston Martin in 2022. He has worked in motorsport for much of his career, including a stint as BMW’s chief engineer when they were competing in F1.

He remained with BMW after their exit from F1, focusing his work instead on MSA, Formula E, GT and DTM. Now he is leading Aston Martin, with Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll as his demanding owner.

9) Ayao Komatsu – net worth £650,000

Like Krack, Ayao Komatsu has worked in motorsport for much of his career. He started with BAR and Lotus before joining Haas in 2016 where he worked closely with Romain Grosjean.

The Japanese engineer was then promoted to become Guenther Steiner’s right-hand man. He then replaced Steiner as team principal when the Italian left earlier this year, though his salary will likely reflect the fact he works for one of F1’s poorer teams.

10) Bruno Famin – net worth £500,000
Bruno Famin took over Alpine on an interim basis in 2023 in what is his first job leading an F1 team. He was previously director of Peugeot Sport and initially joined Alpine in 2022 as CEO in charge of engine development.
