The central and most exciting fixture of Matchday 17 in the English Premier League will take place at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Manchester United.

Aston Villa are extending their winning run, which now stands at six consecutive matches. Overall, the club have won 10 of their last 11 games. However, in Matchday 16, the Birmingham side were unexpectedly made to work hard in their away match against West Ham United.During the match they found themselves behind twice but eventually managed to turn the game in their favour, securing a 3–2 victory.

Manchester United continue to surprise: how can a team keep dropping points at home, especially against such favourable opponents? It’s hard to say whether this is down to psychology, coaching decisions, or simple bad luck. What is clear is that every time United get a chance to close in on the Premier League top four, they fail dramatically.

Prediction for the Aston Villa vs Manchester United

This season, Manchester United have shown a tendency to deliver strong performances in situations where little is expected of them. However, I do not believe Aston Villa will give them such an opportunity. The Birmingham side are demonstrating impressive consistency, so my recommendation is to back Aston Villa to win.
