Aston Villa and Manchester United are fighting for three festive points when they lock horns in Sunday’s Premier League duel in the Midlands.
Even during doom-filled days of recent years, United have enjoyed this fixture. They have lost just two battles with Villa since December 2009, with only one of those losses coming at Villa Park, and they haven’t been beaten by their upcoming hosts across the last two seasons.
However, Ruben Amorim’s inconsistent Red Devils face an incredibly stern challenge this weekend as they visit the Premier League’s form side and a Villa team who have won their previous nine home games in all competitions.
A third successive away win appears unlikely for United, especially with Villa determined to keep pace with Arsenal and Manchester City above them.
