Manchester United will look to get back to winning ways when they face Aston Villa in the 2025/26 Premier League this weekend.

The hosts suffered their first defeat of manager Michael Carrick’s tenure in their latest Premier League match, away at Newcastle.

A chaotic end to the first half saw Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey sent off, before both teams netted before half-time.

United played against 10 men for over half the match, only to succumb to a William Osula wonder goal in the dying minutes of the match.

They now host Aston Villa in a match that will prove crucial in the race to secure Champions League football this season.

The two sides are level on points in the Premier League table, sitting third and fourth, just three points ahead of Chelsea.

Villa lost 4-1 at home to Chelsea in their latest Premier League match, which is the latest of three league matches without a victory.

Manager Unai Emery’s side have now won only two of their last nine Premier League games and will arrive here off the back of a trip to Lille in the UEFA Europa League.

What are the best bets for Man Utd vs Aston Villa?

Both teams to score

Both teams to score seems to be a certainty when you look at both sides’ recent Premier League matches.

Thirteen of United’s last 17 have seen both teams find the net, whilst the same has happened in 10 of Villa’s last 16; it is something that I am keen to back in this match.

Three of the last five head-to-head matches between these two sides have also seen both teams score at least one goal.

Aston Villa to win or match to end in draw

For those that like to back a result, I am suggesting that you take Aston Villa to win or draw, in the double chance market.

Having watched Man Utd struggle to break down 10-man-Newcastle last week, I can see Villa ending their poor run with a very important result on the road here.

Morgan Rogers to score or assist

Bryan Mbeumo and Morgan Rogers are the danger men for both sides and expect them to be involved in a goal.

I’m backing Rogers, in the hope that his odds to score or assist are slightly higher than Mbuemo’s.
