Aston Villa vs. Man United Head-to-Head

Aston Villa have a miserable head-to-head record against Man United. The Villa have won just one of their last 26 home fixtures against the Red Devils, losing on 16 occasions across that period. United’s 41 EPL wins against Villa is their second-most against a single opponent.

Game Preview

One of the most eye-catching fixtures in the Premier League this weekend is set for Villa Park, as Aston Villa bid to close the gap at the top of the EPL standings when they host Man United.

Unai Emery’s side remarkably sit just three points behind Arsenal at the summit, with only the Gunners and Man City clocking up more wins than the Villa this season. Last weekend, they showed their championship credentials with a comeback win against West Ham.

At home, only Man City have picked up more wins than Aston Villa in 2025, with Emery’s side suffering just one defeat. That is the fewest that they have suffered in a calendar year since 1983.

We saw the good and bad of Man United in their latest outing against Bournemouth. The Red Devils looked strong in the final third, scoring four times, while also looking defensively inept, also conceding four.

United’s newfound attacking confidence should be respected, as they struggled offensively throughout the campaign last season. Their attacking quality is reflected after scoring 1.88 goals per game from an xG of 1.82.

Despite failing to win their last three at Old Trafford, United have become more efficient on the road. The Red Devils have won their last two away matches, and they could win three in succession for the first time since February 2024 this weekend.

Aston Villa vs. Man United Picks

Based on the recent attacking records of both teams, this should be an enjoyable fixture on Sunday. However, United’s head-to-head dominance could ensure that they are the value play when making picks.
