Aston Villa looks like a team that might enter the title race as the dark horse. They are near Arsenal and City now, and need to keep pace with the two with a win over United, who again failed to win at home last weekend. Since this is the closing fixture of the round, and is the sole one on Monday night, all eyes will be on it.

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United Preview

Aston Villa

The Villains have won 9 in a row across all competitions. This team is on fire and possibly in the best shape of all in the EPL. Among others, they’ve beaten the EPL leaders, Arsenal, during this stretch.

In all those victories, Aston Villa has netted at least twice, and we can say that the offense delivers regularly. Also, when talking about the efficiency, only once in the last 7 games have we not seen both teams netting in Villa’s events. All of those contests included over 2.5 goals as well.

At Villa Park, Emery’s unit played 8 EPL fixtures this season, winning 6, tying 1, and losing 1, with a goal difference of 13 scored and 6 allowed.

Manchester United

The Red Devils may have delivered the top game of the year last Monday night against Bournemouth, but their fans went home frustrated. It was 4-4 at Trafford, with United failing to win its third straight home event. And not just that, Ruben Amorim’s unit has won two of its last 7 matches.

Still, Manchester is 6th and near the zone that leads to the UEFA Champions League. Despite all the bad and frustrating results, they started to anger their supporters.

United allowed at least a goal in the past 9 straight contests, and that’s something just a few notice. Both teams have scored in 8 games during that stretch, and 7 have seen over 2.5 goals. Five games have ended with at least 4 goals.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Head to Head

Believe it or not, United hasn’t lost to Villa in the last 6 games, and they’ve posted 5 wins during that stretch. During the 2024/25 season, we’ve seen them play without goals in Birmingham and the Red Devils triumphing at Trafford, 2-0.

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United Predictions

It’s time for Villa to break the curse and beat United. Emery’s team is in excellent form, playing good football, and has the home-field edge. United’s defense is highly vulnerable, and overall, the team has several players absent due to the African Cup of Nations. So everything is on Aston Villa’s side, and we pick them to win here.

Our verdict: Aston Villa
