Manchester United Preview & Team News
Manchester United is preparing for this game after a 2-2 draw in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur. In that match, Manchester United had 60% possession and 17 attempts on goal with eight on target. Despite a 2-0 halftime lead, the Red Devils didn’t manage to keep their advantage and return home with a win. The defense of Manchester United is a big problem this season, as they conceded 39 goals in the English top flight. The hosts will face selection issues ahead of Sunday’s match. Tom Heaton (Ankle Injury), Alejandro Garnacho (Ankle Injury), Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Raphaël Varane (Foot Injury), Lisandro Martínez (Metatarsal Fracture), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) are not available for Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag.
Aston Villa Preview & Team News
Aston Villa goes into the match on the back of a 1-0 Premier League victory with a defeat to Fulham in their last game. In that match, Aston Villa had 52% possession, a total of 14 shots, three on target. Villa recorded eight wins and two draws in the previous ten games, escaped the danger zone, and became competitive in the continental spots race. They are doing well under Unai Emery and hope to pick up where they left off. Due to a completely healthy squad to pick from, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery doesn’t have any fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be an exciting match, and it won’t be easy for the Red Devils to beat in-form visitors. However, we believe they will meet expectations and take advantage of their good form at Old Trafford.
Goals Market Prediction
Manchester United still has defensive issues, which are partly caused by limited selection due to injuries. The crowd saw at least four goals in their previous three h2h encounters, and we think this game should go over a 2.5 margin.
