Manchester United, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by West Ham United will have left the Manchester United squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 65% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, West Ham United managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at home.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Aston Villa, Recent FormAston Villa manager Unai Emery will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Sheffield United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 78%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Sheffield United had 5 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Emery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins is giving Aston Villa's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Aston Villa last time they met Manchester United in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
In each of the previous 3 matches against Man Utd, The Villans have let in at least one goal.
Man Utd man Bruno Fernandes will be confident about extending his scoring record against Aston Villa, having hit the netting 6 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Carlos Casemiro (Hamstring), Amad Diallo (Ankle), Christian Eriksen (Knee), Victor Lindelöf (Unknown), Harry Maguire (Groin), Tyrell Malacia (Knee surgery), Anthony Martial (Illness), Lisandro Martínez (Foot), Mason Mount (Calf) and Donny van de Beek (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Unai Emery has a number of injury concerns in his Aston Villa squad to contend with: Emiliano Buendía (Cruciate ligament), Ben Chrisene (Knee), Kortney Hause (Knee), Tyrone Mings (Knee), Youri Tielemans (Unknown) and Bertrand Traoré (Unknown)
