Manchester United has been going through a rough patch recently and they now stand at the 4th spot in the point table. Aston Villa is comfortably sitting at the 6th spot in the point table in close competition with Tottenham Hotspur. They will be motivated to gain some away points and get past the Spurs.
We expect an exciting match with goals on both sides.
The betting tip is...
Marcus Rashford will score a goal in the 2nd half.

The Lions are high on confidence as they are very close to reaching the top 5 in the Premier League.
Aston Villa are coming to Old Trafford after scoring a thrilling win over Fulham. With 52% of possession, Aston Villa gained an early advantage as Tyrone Mings scored a goal in the 21st minute. However, both teams failed to score any goal in the second half.
Philippe Coutinho (thigh), Leon Bailey (thigh), Boubacar Kamara (ankle) and Matty Cash (ankle) are sidelined because of their injuries.
Predicted Lineup: Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; McGinn, Dendoncker, Luiz, Ramsey; Buendia, Watkins
Aston Villa has a long list of injuries, but Manchester United has a well-balanced lineup. Goals will be scored by both the teams at Old Trafford but we predict a win for Manchester United due to the many injuries in the Aston Villa Squad.
