Aston Villa to win

Man United’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham was their seventh defeat in nine games against English opposition and a more motivated Villa, who are hunting down a fifth-place finish, can turn them over here.

Crisis club Man United take on top-five hopefuls Aston Villa at Old Trafford on the final day of the Premier League campaign on Sunday, 25 May. Read our Premier League predictions for the contest below.

Man United vs Aston Villa prediction: Villains can pile on misery for Amorim

Key Stats

  • Man United haven’t won a Premier League fixture since their victory over Leicester on 16 March.
  • Aston Villa have won eight of their last nine Premier League matches.
  • Man Utd have failed to score in 15 different Premier League fixtures this term. Only Southampton and Leicester have fared worse.
  • Five Man Utd players were booked when they last faced Villa in October.

Correct score prediction: Man United 0-1 Aston Villa

Man United have lost each of their last three meetings with English opponents to nil and they failed to score in each of their last three Premier League fixtures at Old Trafford. Villa won’t need to do much to collect three points here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Aston Villa offer plenty of value

  • HOME: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
  • DRAW: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
  • AWAY: 8/11 (1.73) – 57.9%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Man United failed in their attempts to salvage a nightmare campaign when they limped to defeat in the Europa League final. Broken by that loss to Spurs, the strugglers offer little value to win on Sunday even at a meaty price of 16/5.

Aston Villa have won eight of their last nine games in the league, but they still need to better Chelsea’s result at Forest to finish in the top five. The Villains are odds-on favourites at 8/11 to earn the victory they need. View more of our free football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Most recent H2Hs: Man Utd have been dominant

Aston Villa and United drew 0-0 at Villa Park back in October, though United won four meetings on the spin in league and cup before that.

Man United preview: Mainoo, Ugarte and Dalot could start

Man United head coach Ruben Amorim is certain to shuffle his pack following Wednesday’s taxing and futile exploits in the Europa League final. Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte will be among those hoping to start, though Alejandro Garnacho might have talked his way out of contention after some bristly post-match comments in midweek.

Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Lindelof, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dorgu, Fernandes, Amad, Zirkzee

Aston Villa preview: Villains could be unchanged

Jacob Ramsey and Youri Tielemans are injured for Villa. Marcus Rashford, even if fit, wouldn't have been able to feature against his parent club. Unai Emery could keep faith with the starting XI that beat Tottenham 2-0 last weekend.

Predicted lineup: Martinez (GK), Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen, Kamara, Onana, Rogers, Asensio, McGinn, Watkins

Player to watch – Emi Martinez

Villa keeper and fan favourite Emi Martinez is expected to seek out a new challenge in the summer which means Sunday’s game at Old Trafford is likely to be his last appearance for the club.

Martinez could be keen to impress

Man Utd are one of the clubs believed to be keen to sign Martinez and the Argentinean, who is a showman at the best of times, will be eager to hog the spotlight at Old Trafford in front of his suitors. Now, the 32-year-old just has to hope that he has something to do in Manchester.
