Man United have lost 3 matches in a row.
Aston Villa have won 3 consecutive games.

Head to Head

Man United have a 106-51 advantage against Aston Villa in 199 meetings with 42 draws.

Man United Form

Man United are one of the most out-of-form Premier League teams and are 16th in the table. The Red Devils have taken just two points from their previous eight league games.

United’s last point came from a 1-1 away draw at Bournemouth. A three-match losing run followed, with defeats against Brentford 4-3, West Ham 2-0 and Chelsea 1-0.

Ruben Amorim’s side followed this downturn in form with a 1-0 Europa League final loss against Tottenham. United had 16 shots, 73% possession, wasted several chances and conceded just before half time.

Man United Injuries

Defensive pair Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt are unlikely to play due to injury.

Aston Villa Form

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are sixth in the Premier League and locked on 66 points with Chelsea and Newcastle. Villa can finish as high as third if they win and all the teams above them lose on the final day.

The Midlands side have kept the pressure on after winning eight of their last nine matches. They won five Premier League fixtures on the spin before losing 2-1 at Man City.

Villa responded with a three-match winning streak, including back-to-back 1-0 victories against Fulham and Bournemouth.

The Villans kept their winning form rolling after a comfortable 2-0 home win over Tottenham. Emery’s side had 1.69-0.52 XG and goals from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara secured the win.

Aston Villa Injuries

Midfielder Youri Tielemans is an injury doubt.

Attacker Marcus Rashford is injured and won’t feature here.

Verdict

Man Utd v Aston Villa

Man United are an untreatening side and Aston Villa will be desperate to seal a big win in the top five race. There’s good value on a Villans Premier League victory at Old Trafford.
