Manchester United vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United are going through a fine run of form and only recently suffered their first loss under caretaker manager Michael Carrick. They’ve climbed up to third place in the Premier League table and sit on 51 points, level with their opponents.
United have scored seven goals in their last five outings and conceded five, suggesting that most of their recent games have been closely contested. Carrick has gone back to playing with a 4-2-3-1 formation, which has freed up the likes of Bruno Fernandes and helped the team produce an impressive xG of 50.4.
However, the Red Devils haven’t been immune to injuries. Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Mason Mount, and Patrick Dorgu are all ruled out, while Noussair Mazraoui is a doubtful starter.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Shaw, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Cunha, Fernandes, Amad; Sesko.
Aston Villa Team News
Aston Villa come here on the back of just one win in their last five outings – a 1-0 victory against Lille in the UEFA Europa League midweek. The Villans have conceded 10 goals and scored a mere four during that stretch.
Despite recording just nine shots against Lille, the team managed to take seven of them from inside the box. However, just one effort was on target, and it proved to be the decisive goal. They also won 57% of their aerial and 52% of their ground duels in that game. While there’s still some work to be done, Villa have shown clear improvement.
Jadon Sancho will be unavailable, as he is on loan from Manchester United and can’t play against his parent club. Matty Cash, Boubacar Kamara, and Youri Tielemans have all been ruled out with injuries.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Digne, Torres, Konsa, Bogarde; Onana, Luiz; Buendia, Rogers, McGinn; Watkins.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to win or draw
- Odds: -455 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Aston Villa
We expect Man Utd to either win or draw. They’ve improved considerably under Carrick and are currently in a strong position in the race for Champions League qualification. However, there’s still room for improvement, especially when it comes to converting chances.
Villa’s defensive frailties (xGA of 42.2) can be exploited by Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko, who have combined for 30 goal contributions in the league. Matheus Cunha, who averages 1.3 shots on target per 90 minutes, is another player to watch.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -152 (20Bet)
While Fernandes and Sesko will be the wreckers-in-chief for Man United, Villa, too, can be expected to strike back. The Red Devils have kept only one clean sheet in their last four outings, which will give the Villans some encouragement.
Morgan Rogers, who has 13 goal contributions in the league, will be one to watch, while Ollie Watkins, with an xG per 90 of 0.40, will also be a dangerman up front. Both sides should be capable of creating clear scoring opportunities in the final third.
