Manchester United – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Manchester United finally returned to winning ways on Tuesday, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League. The comeback ended a nine-match winless run across all competitions, giving Michael Carrick some welcome breathing space.
However, league form remains worrying, with United sitting 17th after collecting just seven points from nine games (W1, D4, L4). They’ve also failed to score in consecutive defeats against Bournemouth and Chelsea, while conceding in every Premier League fixture this season.
United have won 24 of their 31 Premier League home meetings with Aston Villa, including a 3-1 victory back in March. The Red Devils have also won their last four home encounters against the visitors, with William Hill offering 23/20 for another victory at Old Trafford.

Aston Villa – Premier League Form and Betting Odds

Aston Villa travel to Old Trafford unbeaten in five Premier League matches (W3, D2), a run which has lifted Unai Emery’s side to tenth. However, Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League defeat at Barcelona extended their winless run to three matches across all competitions.
Goals have featured regularly in Villa’s league fixtures, with five of their opening nine producing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in five. Emery’s side have scored ten goals while conceding 13, although their defensive performances have improved in recent weeks.
The visitors have collected seven points from four Premier League away matches (W2, D1, L1), including victories at Tottenham and Newcastle. Villa also beat United 2-1 at Villa Park last December, with William Hill offering 2/1 for another victory over the Red Devils.
