Aston Villa vs Manchester United

Aston Villa are aiming to maintain their winning run as they host Manchester United in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The Villans are looking imperious at the moment and challenging around the top of the table. They should have the upper hand over the visitors, who continue to battle inconsistency.

Aston Villa News

Aston Villa can be considered title contenders this season as they sit second in the table, three points off the pace. Unai Emery’s team have looked almost unstoppable lately and have won their last nine matches across all competitions.

The Villans showed great character last time out, twice coming from behind to claim a 3-2 victory at West Ham. Villa Park has also been a fortress this season, and they have won their last nine home matches.

Aston Villa have impressed going forward and have scored in their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United News

Manchester United have undoubtedly shown plenty of improvement this season and are up to sixth in the table. They were held to a 4-4 home draw by Bournemouth in their previous Premier League fixture.

Despite obvious improvements, Manchester United remain inconsistent, having won just two of their last seven matches. The good news for manager Ruben Amorim is that they appear to fare better in their travels and are unbeaten in their last five away matches.

The draw with Bournemouth highlighted Manchester United’s defensive problems, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 away matches. However, they have scored in nine of those fixtures, while nine of those matches have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester United have nine wins and three draws, while Aston Villa have been victorious just three times. The visitors claimed a 1-0 home victory in the last meeting back in May.

Verdict

Aston Villa v Man Utd

Aston Villa and Manchester United often struggle to keep things tight at the back, and both teams are expected to score. With nine of the Red Devils’ 10 away matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be expected here.

Manchester United have been a bit erratic lately, while Aston Villa are the most in-form team in the Premier League at the moment. Having won their last nine home matches, the Villans are expected to come out on top once again.
