Aston Villa preview: Villa in the race

Aston Villa come into this one on the back of an entertaining come from behind 3-2 victory away at West Ham United at the London Stadium last weekend with Morgan Rogers performing extremely well, scoring a match-winning brace in the capital city.

The Villains have now enjoyed 15 victories in their last 17 matches across all competitions, albeit there have been some concerns over the overall performance level of Unai Emery’s impressive midlanders.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd prediction

Throughout the campaign, United have put in some much-improved performances. Aston Villa will be setup very well by Unai Emery and they will have the weak points of the United side drilled into them. There is a feeling that Villa’s form has been above the level of their performance and a nine-match winning streak has to end soon so siding with the visitors to avoid defeat in Birmingham would appear a good value bet for this one.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd tip: Double chance – Man Utd to win or draw
