Prediction: Aston Villa Wins
Our prediction for Aston Villa v Manchester United is that Aston Villa wins. The hosts are in impeccable form. They’ve won nine straight fixtures and have defeated strong sides in this stretch, like Bournemouth and Arsenal.
As they also have a similar hot streak at home, seeing them extend their winning run to an incredible 10 games is very likely. Their chances are also significantly boosted as United are severely depleted. The visitors are missing defensive pair Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as the offensive duo of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo.

Aston Villa are the in-form team on the land and are coming into this tie having won nine consecutive games. Six of these wins have been in the Premier League.
Unai Emery’s men, who produced a statement victory over league leaders Arsenal the last time they were home, have won 10 league matches. With another three ending in a share of the spoils, they have accumulated 33 points and trail Manchester City in second by a point.
Villa, who also have a five-point advantage on their closest challengers, edged a five-goal thriller away to West Ham United last time out. The hosts have lost just one of their 11 games at Villa Park this season.
Aston Villa will miss several players for this tantalizing clash. Pau Torres, Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are still stuck in the treatment room while Harvey Elliot is doubtful with an illness. Emiliano Martinez has missed the last two games with a back problem, but is expected to be available on Sunday.
Jadon Sancho, who is on-loan at Villa Park from United, is ineligible to play against his parent club. They will still not miss their attacking punch as Morgan Rogers continues with his terrific form.
No one at the club has scored more than his five goals in the league. he teams up with other in-form mates, Donyell Malen and Emiliano Buendia, who have scored a combined eight league goals.
Manchester United
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Opponent Goals | Manchester United Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Bournemouth | 4 | 4 |
| 9 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Wolves | 1 | 4 |
| 5 Dec 2025 | Premier League | West Ham | 1 | 1 |

| 25 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Everton | 1 | 0 |

Manchester United arrive for this fixture in stuttering form, but their dominant record against Villa should make them confident of an upset. United have won over 90 duels against Villa in the league, scoring over 320 goals.
Recently, they’ve lost just one of the last nine meetings across all competitions, winning six times. Ruben Amorim’s men have won just twice in their last seven outings. They have proved tough to beat, though, as they have only lost once in this stretch.
United are coming off an exciting face-off with Bournemouth that saw both teams earn a point after a 4-4 draw.
Manchester United also come into this game missing key players. Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo have scored a combined eight league goals.
They will, however, not be available for this match or for the next three weeks, at least, as they are away on AFCON duty. Noussair Mazraoui is also away.
It doesn’t get easier for United, who have had to do without the injured defensive pair of Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire. Meanwhile, despite making polarizing comments, Bruno Fernandes is expected to keep carrying the offensive load. He has scored five times in the league.
