The Premier League have today confirmed which of Manchester City's fixtures in October will be broadcast live on television.
Pep Guardiola's side will be looking to win their third consecutive English top-flight trophy during the coming campaign, following success last season.
While City were chased right to the very end by Liverpool, it took a dramatic final day comeback to secure their fourth Premier League title in the last five seasons.
An Ilkay Gundogan brace, accompanied by a Rodri effort from outside of the penalty area, completed a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, despite being 0-2 down against Steven Gerrard's side at one stage in the game.

Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City players will be hoping to get off to a better start in the Premier League than they did last season.
On the opening day of the 2021/2022 campaign, the club fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Tottenham.
However, the club did bounce back in style.
In the two games that following, Manchester City scored 10 goals and conceded none, as they beat Norwich City and Arsenal 5-0 each in consecutive fixtures.
