Aston Villa vs Manchester United Moneyline Prediction

It’s been three years since Aston Villa last defeated Manchester United, a result that also came at Villa Park. Unai Emery’s team are on a hot streak of nine back-to-back victories across all competitions, having defeated Arsenal just two weeks ago. 

The Villans have struggled to keep clean sheets in recent matches – yet it shouldn’t stop them from winning. Man United, on the other hand, have failed to keep one in nine consecutive outings.

It’s in chaotic and intense games where Villa thrive best, due to a strong resilience that allows them to pull several goals back. 

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Player Prop

There are few players like Morgan Rogers, who can turn games around on their own. The winger did exactly that against West Ham last weekend, as he scored a brace which allowed Aston Villa to claim a 3-2 victory. He’s only netted five goals in the Premier League this season. As Man Utd continue to shift game plans, the confusion would be the ideal setting for Rogers to score again.

Over the past 15 years, Aston Villa and Manchester United have produced only one goalless draw, which came last season. Despite it being December, both teams are still searching for a starting striker, which is why they’ve been inconsistent in attack. 

This season, however, that dynamic appears to favour Villa. As they’re more efficient in their counter-attacks thanks to a stronger midfield, it’s the Villans who are expected to come out victorious. 

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Team News

Aston Villa Team News

Aston Villa couldn’t be in a better position. They sit third in both the Premier League and the Europa League, having won five consecutive league fixtures. Across that run, only the clash against Wolves saw them score fewer than two goals. 

Among those encounters, the 2-1 victory against Arsenal is the most significant. One of the unique aspects of this Aston Villa squad is the healthy mix between starters and substitutes. 

It’s not the first time the team have grabbed all three points late in games, fuelled by an energy boost. Against West Ham (3-2), it was Morgan Rogers who saved the match in the second half. 

Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are sidelined with injuries. Pau Torres, who suffered an injury against Brighton, will need to undergo further medical checks to confirm his availability. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is still recovering from back pain, though he’s unlikely to be fit in time. 

Manchester United Team News

Manchester United dropped points in an eventful 4-4 draw against Bournemouth, due to Ruben Amorim’s latest tactical adjustments. The team lined up in an asymmetric 4-3-3 formation, placing several players out of position. 

Still, they’ve maintained sixth place in the Premier League, registering two victories in their last five outings. 

The match against Bournemouth contained everything you could ask for. The trade-off was that while Man Utd conceded more goals, they created significantly more chances. 

The Red Devils generated 3.4 xG, while only allowing 1.94 xG. The new set-up allowed players like Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo to thrive better on the ball, as they were given more creative freedom. 

Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt are sidelined with injuries. Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast), Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon), and Noussair Mazraoui (Morocco) have been called up by their national teams for AFCON and won’t be available.
