Man Utd vs Aston Villa preview
Manchester United must somehow drag themselves onto the field for the 38th and final time this Premier League season as they welcome Unai Emery’s Aston Villa to Old Trafford on Sunday.
It’s not a game the hosts will be looking forward to following their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham in Bilbao midweek.
The loss, which cost the club an estimated £100million, means Manchester United will have no European football next season for only the second time since 1990.
They’ve lost 18 of their 37 Premier League games this season, and will finish their top-flight campaign without winning two matches in a row all season – only the third time in the club’s history.
Ruben Amorim’s side are winless in their last eight Premier League games (D2 L6), losing the last three in a row. Another defeat and Tottenham winning elsewhere would consign them to a 17th-placed finish.
So Sunday’s showdown against a motivated Aston Villa is far from ideal.
Aston Villa, currently sitting sixth in the table, are level on points with both Newcastle United and Chelsea but trail significantly on goal difference – making victory a must for Unai Emery’s side.
Three points would be enough to secure Champions League qualification if either Newcastle or Chelsea drop points, or if Manchester City are beaten by Fulham.
Things become more complicated if Villa are held to a draw. In that scenario, they would need Newcastle to lose against Everton, as no outcome from the Nottingham Forest v Chelsea fixture would allow Emery’s men to leapfrog both rivals.

Man Utd vs Aston Villa preview betting tips and predictions
Win to Nil
We’re tipping Aston Villa to claim all three points when they travel to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Unai Emery’s side have won nine of their last 11 Premier League outings (L2) – just one shy of Manchester United’s total league wins all season (10). Even more impressively, they’ve kept four clean sheets in their last six matches, conceding a league-low three goals in that stretch.
In stark contrast, the hosts are in freefall. United are winless in their last eight top-flight games (D2 L6), losing the last three on the bounce. They’ve shipped 13 goals in that run and failed to keep a single clean sheet, with only Southampton and Ipswich scoring fewer.
The Red Devils turn up tired and wounded following their Europa League defeat to Tottenham, and will just be looking to get this season over with before jetting off over the summer.

Assist
Morgan Rogers has more Premier League assists than any other Aston Villa player this season (10), while only three players have ever provided more in a single campaign for the Villans – including SIX in his last eight top-flight matches.
He’s joint-ninth for expected assists (xA) in the entire Premier League over the last six games – and has created ten opportunities for his colleagues in that spell.
