Manchester United to Win
Erik ten Hag slowly, but surely is making his mark with the players at Manchester United. There are certain games where the fans can see that there is still a lot of work to be done, but compared to last season, it seems that this year this team has an identity. Aston Villa trashed Brentford in the first game since Steven Gerrard was fired, but soon followed it with a trashing of their own, at the hands of Newcastle. Since the bad loss at city rivals Manchester City, United has won three games, and drawn the other two against Newcastle and Chelsea.
Under 2.5 Goals
Even though there were some high-scoring matches between these sides in the past, the current standings show a different attitude. They are not even close to the top of rankings when it comes to ‘over' matches, and at the same time Aston Villa will try to save face the best way they can, the idea will be to build a wall in the back line, and secure some confidence for their defenders.

Manchester United is eager to continue pushing for Champions League place
Steven Gerrard's tenure at the club wasn't very long, and not all that successful. The Liverpool legend failed to bring stability, and the club's management decided it was time to change the perspective by bringing in a new voice in the locker room. Unai Emery certainly fills that mold. However, it was a risky move. Emery is a good coach, but he will need time to focus on rebuilding the confidence of his team.
Aston Villa's potential starting 11: Martinez, Young, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Douglas Luiz, Dendoncker, Bailey, Buendia, Watkins, Ings.
Manchester United are facing an opponent that they regularly beat historically. Of course, long gone are the times of Sir Alex Ferguson and his title-winning side. But, this season, the United team has a strategy that works, and it is still not fully operational. It seems that Erik ten Hag bought the right players for the way he wants to play, and one of his best signings was Casemiro. Many doubted that the Brazilian would make it at Old Trafford, but as time progresses, he has become a constant force in the midfield.
Manchester United's potential starting 11: de Gea, Shaw, Martinez, Maguire, Dalot, Eriksen, Casemiro, Rashford, Fred, Elanga, Ronaldo.
Team News:
Aston Villa: Boubacar Kamara is injured, while Ludwig Augustinsson is a doubt.
Manchester United: Raphael Varane, Axel Tuanzebe, Brandon Williams, and Anthony Martial are injured, while Jadon Sancho and Antony are doubtful. Bruno Fernades is suspended.
