Aston Villa vs Manchester United Predictions

• Villa are on a nine-game winning run across all competitions.
• Villa have also won their last nine at home.
  Manchester United have won just two of their last nine away games across all comps.

Villa looking for 10 in a row

Aston Villa are the form team in England’s top flight right now with 27 points from the last 30 available ahead of the visit of Manchester United in Sunday’s only Premier League fixture.

The Villans’ form has seen them emerge as legitimate title challengers, but they face a test against a United side who are looking to break into the top four.

Unai Emery’s side have been exceptional at Villa Park and at the current prices a home win looks excellent value for our main bet.

Villa overcame pacesetters Arsenal in their last home game and a win over Manchester United on Sunday would make it 10 victories in a row at this venue across all competitions.

United have proven to be tough to beat as they have just one defeat in their last 10 games. However, they’ve also only won two of their last seven and the level of their recent performances in draws against out-of-sorts Bournemouth and struggling West Ham probably won’t be enough to claim any points at Villa Park.

Villa may concede in victory

Villa have been solid defensively at home with just six goals conceded in eight games in the Premier League but they may need to score more than once to claim three points this weekend.

United have scored in six consecutive away games and they are among the more potent attacking sides on their travels in the Premier League with 14 goals scored across their eight road assignments.

Villa have gone four games without a clean sheet across all competitions so goals at both ends looks likely, and as each of Villa’s last seven wins have come via one-goal margins a 2-1 home win seems a reasonable correct score prediction.

The fact Villa are challenging right at the top of the table is even more remarkable when you consider they have been sharing the goals around. Morgan Rogers has chipped in with five goals in total, all of which have come in away games, after his double in the win over West Ham last week and he may be able to follow that up against United as he bids to end his wait for a first goal of the season at Villa Park.
