Manchester United and Aston Villa will meet again in the Premier League Week 19 at the Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester Tuesday, December 26, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Aston Villa, who just drew 1-1 with Sheffield United in the 18th round, are of course trying hard to improve their performance. Even though this draw was unexpected, Aston Villa still has a big chance to lead the standings.
Emiliano Martínez et al currently have 39 points, the same as Liverpool, but are in 3rd place behind Liverpool on goal difference. Arsenal leads the standings with 40 points, but with just one point difference, Aston Villa has a great chance to take over the top spot.
On the other hand, even though Manchester United is experiencing a decline in performance, they are still a tough opponent. Man United have only won 1 of their last 7 matches, and just lost 0-2 in the match against West Ham.
However, don’t forget the fact that Man Utd is a team with a strong history and reputation. They have talented and experienced players who may not yet find the right form to go further in the Premier League.
When this news was released, the team nicknamed ‘Red Devils’ had only collected 28 points from 18 matches in the English Premier League season 2023-2024 which had been completed.
Facing Aston Villa who were ‘on fire’, Man Utd faced many performance problems and personnel shortages. Several of their main players are absent due to injury and suspension such as Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Jazon Sancho, Anthony Martial.
On the other hand, Aston Villa coach Unai Emery was also unable to use several of their main players due to suspension and injuries such as Yoeri Tielemans, Pao Torres, Bertran Traoré. This means Erik ten Haq and Unai Emery will have to find great tactics to win the Premier League Boxing Day match after Christmas 2023.
Looking at the performance of the two teams, Aston Villa is considered to have a greater chance of winning. However, they will enter Old Trafford, where in 4 of Man Utd’s last 6 games at home, there has been at least 1 goal in the first half. However, Aston Villa also has extraordinary experience at home, where in 4 of ‘The Villas’ last 5 matches as a visiting team, there was at least 1 goal in the first half.
As additional information, reported on the official Man United club website, British businessman and Chairman of INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, officially acquired 25 percent of Manchester United shares. Sir Jamie Ratcliffe will also provide additional funds of £237 million for investment in Old Trafford.
