MAN UTD VS ASTON VILLA MATCH ANALYSIS
Manchester United come into this game following a late 1-0 win against Espirito Nuno Santo’s Wolves on Wednesday at home. It sent Man Utd to 2nd place with 30 points, firmly in the title hunt, and made it eight Premier League games unbeaten (W6, D2) for the division’s joint second-highest top scorers (31). The visitors, on the other hand, are in 5th, four points below the hosts, and will be confident ahead of the trip to Manchester after holding Frank Lampard’s Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Monday. Villa are now unbeaten in their last five (W3, D2) and have kept a clean sheet in all bar the last game.
Man Utd were held to a 2-2 draw with Leicester last Saturday, but with their third win in four at Old Trafford, United are starting to find the home form and they could sneak another win over the high-flying Villa at the moment. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can count on duo Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes to produce another fine display, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof remain out.
Tuesday's game seemed destined to be a draw when Rashford took possession on the edge of the area, near to the goal-line. His shot was deflected off Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio completely wrong-footed. Rashford said in the aftermath that it would be stupid to think about winning the Premier League title at the moment despite his injury-time goal moving the Red Devils up to second - as close as they have been to the top of the table at this stage of the season since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, have surprisingly been one of the best teams in the Premier League this season and have impressed with their brand of attacking football. Dean Smith and co are level on points with United despite playing a game fewer and will look to record another famous victory this season after triumphs against Arsenal and Liverpool. Their impressive progress from relegation strugglers to the top-six material is down to the maturity of the players, Dean Smith said after the Chelsea match.
On Monday, Aston Villa came from behind to earn a point against Chelsea. Villa were trailing to an Olivier Giroud header when El Ghazi scored a second-half equaliser, and his fifth goal in as many matches, that saw the in-form visitors stretch their unbeaten run to five games. Both sides had chances to steal the victory, but none clear-cut opportunities. Villa had not earned a point from a losing position this season before this game, so this draw is further proof of the progress they continue to make.

The Red Devils have been entertaining to watch with six of their last nine PL fixtures featuring over 3.5 goals. There is nothing wrong with United going forward this season but the good work attacking-wise had been too often nullified by poor defensive displays as was the case against Leicester.
Having survived on the final day of last season, Villa have enjoyed an impressive upturn in fortune this season. They have won three of their last four games and they are playing with confidence, inspired by their talisman Jack Grealish and driven on by the tireless McGinn. They can leave Old Trafford with their heads held high regardless of the outcome, as the Villains have exceeded expectations this season.
BettingKick’s prediction for the Man Utd vs Aston Villa match is: Over 2.5 goals

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
