How we label and update stories

Source context

Johan Manzambi could be a game-changer for Aston Villa against Manchester City on Saturday. The Switzerland international missed the midweek Champions League game against Viking, and doubts have emerged about his fitness to face the Sky Blues. Enzo Maresca's team have been on a tear in the Premier League, with seven wins in seven. Manzambi has arguably been Villa's best player in recent weeks, scoring and creating chances. While the Villains have decent options on the bench to replace the 21-year-old attacking midfielder, he still gives them their best chance of beating Man City.
