MU faces a tough challenge. |
Manchester United entered the new round of the Premier League aiming to quickly recover from their 1-2 defeat against Newcastle, the Red Devils' first loss under Michael Carrick. However, this result did not cause the Old Trafford side to lose their third place in the league table.
Manchester United's biggest advantage in the upcoming match is playing at Old Trafford. Under Carrick, the team has won all five of their first Premier League home games during his two stints in charge. If they secure another three points against Aston Villa, the English manager will join the very small group of managers who have won their first six home games in the league.
On the other side of the pitch, Aston Villa recently made their mark in European competition by defeating Lille 1-0 away in the UEFA Europa League. This victory not only gives Unai Emery's team an advantage going into the second leg but also marks the Spanish manager's 100th win with Villa. However, their Premier League form has been quite inconsistent, with only 3 wins in their last 11 matches.

Matheus Cunha has a knack for scoring against Aston Villa, having found the net in three consecutive matches. |
Nevertheless, Villa have proven to be a formidable away team. They have lost only one of their last seven away games in all competitions, with four wins and two draws.
The head-to-head history heavily favors Manchester United. Aston Villa have only won 2 of their last 37 visits to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, the "Red Devils" have kept 30 clean sheets against this opponent in the Premier League.
In terms of squad availability, Manchester United may be without Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez due to injury. For Villa, Matty Cash is doubtful, while Jadon Sancho is ineligible to play.
