Betting Predictions
When Manchester United plays Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday at Villa Park, manager Erik ten Hag will be under tremendous pressure to win.
Shortly after Unai Emery’s team pulled off one of the biggest Champions League surprises to date by defeating Bayern Munich, the Red Devils let a two-goal lead go before rallying for a late point in a 3-3 Europa League tie with Porto on Thursday.
Head-to-Head
Even though Aston Villa is the team that is winning this season, they have only triumphed once in their previous 25 Premier League games versus Manchester United. That triumph occurred in November 2022, during Unai Emery’s first game in charge of the team. In the Premier League, United has defeated Villa 40 times; only Everton has been defeated more frequently in Premier League history (41).

Team News
Manchester United captain Fernando Fernandes was sent off the pitch in Porto due to a high boot, just a short time after his three-game Premier League ban and Tottenham red card were overturned. However, that suspension is limited to Europa League games.
The Portuguese playmaker is therefore fine to feature against Villa. However, that is more than can be said for Luke Shaw (calf), Tyrell Malacia (knee), and Leny Yoro (foot), while Mason Mount requires examining after picking up a knock – and sustaining a gash to the head – versus Spurs.
In that 3-0 loss, Kobbie Mainoo, another midfield player, was also substituted off. Although he did not make the matchday squad on Thursday, he did participate in training earlier this week and may play at Villa Park, albeit perhaps as a substitute rather than a starter.
After playing maybe his finest forty-five minutes of the season on Thursday, Marcus Rashford was substituted off at halftime. Ten Hag clarified that this was done for rotation, meaning that Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford would start on the wings instead of Amad Diallo.
However, Villa’s historic victory over Bayern came at a heavy price. In the first half, the unfortunate Jacob Ramsey had to be substituted owing to what appeared to be a groin problem, and around the hour mark, Amadou Onana had to be taken off the field with a tight hamstring.
Emery is the most hopeful about Onana’s fitness out of the three, but the availability of both midfielders is still uncertain on Sunday. Leon Bailey, who came on for Ramsey in the second half, is also questionable.
Tyrone Mings (knee), Boubacar Kamara (knee), and John McGinn (thigh) remain out of contention for Emery, who may potentially partner Duran with Ollie Watkins upfront following Ramsey’s latest blow.
Probable Line-Up
Aston Villa XI:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Rogers, Barkley, Tielemans, Philogene; Duran, Watkins
Manchester United XI:
Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire, Dalot; Eriksen, Ugarte; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Verdict
Tip Aston Villa to Win❌
Reason
Emery’s team should undoubtedly claim the advantage on Sunday because Villa played at home on Wednesday and Man United played away on Thursday. However, Man United still lacks a cohesive identity.
We think Emery’s team will maintain their winning trend and march to the hard-fought victory that might finally put an end to Ten Hag’s chances, even though the Red Devils may have had Villa beaten in recent years.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goals❌
Reason
This season, Aston Villa has been very successful, especially in attack, as they have scored 12 goals in just six games, third most goals in the division.
Man United, on the other hand, have a respectable offensive threat, as we witnessed in their encounter against Porto midweek, but their defense has been exposed as they have allowed three goals in their previous two games in all competitions.
