Smith’s men always pose a threat in attack but Al Hain-Cole is backing the Red Devils to extend their decent home record in a high-scoring clash
Aston Villa supporters will be travelling to Old Trafford more in hope than expectation when their side take on Manchester United on Sunday.
The Villans have only won once in 24 Premier League visits to this stadium, coming away with nothing in each of the last six.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa latest odds
Indeed, having lost five of their six away league matches this season, they are priced at a lengthy 6/1 (7.00) to come out on top here.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men fell to a 2-1 defeat away to Astana in Thursday’s Europa League clash, but are 9/20 (1.45) favourites to bounce back with a victory.
Two of the hosts’ last three home league games have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 7/2 (4.50) on them being held to another stalemate in this one.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa team news
Scott McTominay, Eric Bailly, Paul Pogba, and Diogo Dalot are all sidelined, while Nemanja Matic and Marcos Rojo will face a late fitness test.
Keinan Davis and Jed Steer are long-term absentees, although Jota and Bjorn Engels could be in contention following lay-offs.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa preview
While they have hardly been convincing of late, the Red Devils will still back themselves to maintain their strong record against this opposition.
Having recorded impressive wins over Chelsea and Leicester plus creditable draws against Liverpool and Arsenal in their six league home games this campaign, they must feel confident of overcoming a visiting team that has lost five out of six on the road.
Nevertheless, just two clean sheets in 24 league fixtures suggests the home side are unlikely to have everything their own way considering Dean Smith’s team has failed to score just once in eight league games – scoring 15 times.
Manchester United vs Aston Villa predictions
All in all, odds of 21/10 (3.10) appear very generous on United coming out on top in their fifth match in six that produces goals at both ends, as well as a seventh in nine for Villa.
