Manchester United and Aston Villa will clash in a high-stakes EPL match on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford. United’s six-game winning run under Michael Carrick ended when they lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle. The Red Devils will be disappointed by the result, having played with an extra man for the entire second half. Even worse, Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey made a surging run in the 90th minute to score a stunning goal and help his side bag all the points.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, have been unimpressive in their league games, and are now fighting to retain their Champions League spot. The Villains lost 4-1 against Chelsea in their last assignment despite taking the lead in the second minute through Douglas Luiz. This result meant that Villa couldn’t overtake the third-placed United in the standings and is just 3 points ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool. Unai Emery will target nothing less than 3 points this weekend.

Our Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction
Manchester United have been on fire since Carrick took over the reins at Old Trafford. The former England international has introduced quick counter-attacking play, which suits the profile of players like Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbuemo. Interestingly, United has created 56 big chances compared to Villa’s 37. They could tear apart Aston Villa’s defense, which has conceded 7 goals in the last three EPL matches. However, Aston Villa will know what’s at stake, so we expect their big guns, led by Watkins and Rodgers, to be fit and firing. Note that they’ve taken only 4 points from their last seven matches without the injured club captain, John McGinn. Overall, we think Aston Villa will lose 2-1 in this top-4 clash.
Our prediction for Manchester United vs Aston Villa: Over 2.5 goals.
