Aston Villa vs Man Utd predictions: Tips, odds and team news
Manchester United travel to Aston Villa for another huge Premier League clash on Sunday at 4:30pm (UK time).
Aston Villa vs Man Utd odds
After going winless in three across all competitions, Aston Villa surged back into form with a rampant 5-0 win away at Sheffield United last time out, with all five goals coming within the first 47 minutes, including going 4-0 up inside half an hour. Unai Emery’s men climbed back into the top four and still trail leaders Liverpool by just five points, though they have played an extra game.
Up next in the league is a Manchester United side unbeaten in four but nowhere near as convincing as that run sounds. Two of their three victories were in FA Cup ties against Wigan and Newport County. At the same time, the other came courtesy of a 97th-minute winner against Wolves by Marcus Rashford, only after the Red Devils had conceded a 95th-minute equaliser. United are eighth in the table and trail the top four by 11 points.
