Team News
Aston Villa
Unai Emery has new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Aston Villa manager might be bereft of the services of as many as six first-team players vs Manchester United on Sunday.
Jacob Ramsey (groin) and Amadou Onana (hamstring) could not finish the midweek UEFA Champions League game against Bayern Munich and might not be fit enough to start on Sunday. In addition, Emery is sweating over Leon Bailey’s fitness after he sustained an issue earlier this week. Tyrone Mings (knee), John McGinn (thigh), and Boubacar Kamara (knee) remain on the sidelines.
Emiliano Martinez is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Aston Villa lining up in a 4-4-2 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Sunday. The backline should feature Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, and Lucas Digne.
As for the midfield unit, Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans should pair up in the central areas, with Morgan Rogers and Jaden Philogene providing the width from the flanks. Finally, Ollie Watkins and the in-form Jhon Duran will be the two strikers.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Torres, Digne; Rogers, Barkley, Tielemans, Philogene; Duran, Watkins
Manchester United
Unlike his counterpart in the Aston Villa dugout, Erik ten Hag does not have any new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to Villa Park. The Manchester United manager might be without as many as five first-team players.
The Dutch tactician hopes to see Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount shrug off their knocks. However, they might not be fit enough to start. Luke Shaw (leg), Leny Yoro (foot), and Tyrell Malacia (knee) remain on the sidelines.
Andre Onana will take his usual spot between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Aston Villa on Sunday. The backline should feature Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez, and Diogo Dalot.
As for the midfield unit, Christian Eriksen and Manuel Ugarte should pair up in the double pivot, with Mainoo likely an option on the bench. Bruno Fernandes will reprise the no. 10 role, with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford being the two wide attackers. Finally, Joshua Zirkzee should lead the line for Manchester United against Aston Villa, with Rasmus Hojlund dropping out.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Onana; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Eriksen, Ugarte; Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Manchester United
