Manchester United travels to Villa Park to take on the hosts in this Matchday 20 encounter. Aston Villa are in 14th position with 22 points while the visitors are in 7th position with 31 points. The home team had a great start with new manager Steven Gerrard but defeats in their last three matches has ended his fairytale start. Villa will be out for revenge after being dumped out of the FA Cup by United during the week. They have four losses in their last six home matches and will look to urgently improve on that record. Villa will have history against them as they have not won at home against United in the last 22 matches. It is the longest home run without victory against a particular opponent in the league. They did however beat United away at Old Trafford in the first round of the league.

Manchester United will be smarting after their home defeat to Wolves in their last league match. They bounced back well to beat Villa in the FA Cup during the week. Their loss to Wolves was their first loss in ten matches. They are currently in seventh spot, just four points away from the Europa League positions and six points away from the Champions League spots. They do have games in hand over the teams above them. Victory will be crucial for them as they will look to turn their games in hand into points. United have scored the opening goal against Villa 33 times and went on to win 32 of those matches with just one draw.
