ASTON VILLA VS MAN UNITED

Manchester United returns to Premier League play this weekend against Aston Villa, with the goal of climbing back up the table.

The encounter will be challenging, since United won 1-0 at Old Trafford in the FA Cup last week, with two goals disallowed for Villa.

Villa had previously defeated United in the Premier League, with United missing a late penalty. Dean Smith and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were in charge of that game.

This match features a rematch between Ralf Rangnick and Steven Gerrard, and while United have won both of their previous visits to Villa Park, both were without a crowd.

On Monday, a powerful Villa side was unable to defeat Man United in the FA Cup, but head coach Steven Gerrard will have been pleased with what he saw from his squad for lengthy periods of the match, with the home side relying on luck to progress to the fourth round of the cup.

Villa showed their ambition by signing Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne in the January transfer window, and there is little doubt that Gerrard will aim for a top-half finish, despite the fact that the squad is currently 14th in the table after 19 games of the 2021-22 season.

The visitors may have beaten Villa in the FA Cup on Monday, but they dropped out of the top four after losing their previous league game at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 3.

Ralf Rangnick’s side are now seventh in the table, six points behind fourth-placed West Ham United, but with two games in hand, they are still in contention for a Champions League position.
