Pep Guardiola: Manchester City 'are struggling', says boss after loss at Aston Villa

What is going on with Manchester City?

The Treble winners have not won in four matches and are six points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League.

After their 1-0 loss at Aston Villa on Wednesday night manager Pep Guardiola admitted his side "are struggling".

And former Arsenal defender Martin Keown believes the champions are "in a mini crisis", telling BBC Match of the Day "they look vulnerable".

Leon Bailey's 74th-minute deflected shot gave Villa a deserved victory - one which meant City dropped to fourth in the table, behind Villa, Liverpool and Arsenal.
