Aston Villa v Manchester United: Match Preview

Team News

Aston Villa will be without Leon Bailey (thigh) and Lucas Digne (ankle), while Manchester United could welcome back Anthony Martial (back) and Jadon Sancho (illness).

Aston Villa

Unai Emery will be looking for his team to build on their impressive performance in the 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne are both ruled out through injury, but Diego Carlos and John McGinn are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.

Manchester United

Erik ten Hag will be hoping to see his team continue their good form after their 2-0 victory over Burnley in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho are both doubts, but Harry Maguire and Donny van de Beek are available again after being rested in midweek.

Form Guide

Aston Villa have won three of their last five Premier League games, while Manchester United have won four of their last five. Both teams will be confident of getting a result in this match.

Prediction

This is a difficult match to call, but Manchester United are in slightly better form at the moment. They also have a better squad on paper. I predict a narrow 2-1 win for the visitors.
