Match Preview
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa will still be riding a high by the time that they kick off in front of their home fans on Sunday after recording their most significant win under the Spaniard at Villa Park against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Man United will desperately be looking for a response after a humbling home loss against Tottenham in their latest league outing.
Villa home wins against United have been a rarity throughout history. The Villa have won just once in the last 25 Premier League meetings between the sides at Villa Park, losing a staggering 16 times across that period.
United have won 40 Premier League matches against Villa, their second-most against a single rival in the competition.

However, Villa are enjoying one of their best starts to a Premier League season, winning 13 points in six matches. That marks their best return since the 2008-09 season.
Unai Emery has masterminded an excellent turnaround since taking the Villa job. In fact, since the Spaniard arrived in the West Midlands, only Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City have won more home points.
More unwanted records arrived for ten Hag last weekend, as United lost an eighth match by a three-goal margin under the Dutchman. Since the start of last season, only Sean Dyche and Gary O’Neil have suffered more three-goal defeats.
Aston Villa vs. Man United Picks
United’s record in this fixture is very hard to overlook. However, given the form of both sides coming into this round of matches, it is hard to bet against the prospect of a home victory.
