The Premier League is back with a full set of weekend fixtures as we return to regularly scheduled programming to continue the month of February. There are so many things up in the air at both ends of the table but hopefully, in the weeks ahead, we’ll start to get a bit more clarity. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Aston Villa Form GuideAston Villa fans are on cloud nine right now. They’re looking good in the Conference League, they are in the top four mix in the Premier League, and their home form is out of this world. The boys from the second city are absolutely flying under Unai Emery and if they can carry this momentum forward, there are a lot of options for the club - and they’re all pretty exciting.
Against Sheffield United, Aston Villa proved why they’re still seen as one of the favourites to qualify for the Champions League this season. They raced out to a big lead and eventually, cruised their way to a 5-0 victory.
Manchester United Form GuideManchester United supporters have spent the last decade experiencing brief moments of joy, but for the most part, their inconsistency has really hurt them on the pitch. Erik ten Hag is the latest manager to try and make a difference at Old Trafford, but there are still far more questions than answers for the Red Devils as we approach a critical few months for them.
United always struggle to string a good passage of victories together but against West Ham, they gave off the vibe of a team that’s starting to figure it out. They looked calm, confident and composed, eventually racing out to a 3-0 victory.
Match PredictionAston Villa and Manchester United produced a classic just a matter of weeks ago, and we’re expecting to see something similar in this one. In terms of an official prediction, it’s hard to call either way - but we’re going to shoot for a draw in the Midlands.
