Aston Villa host Man Utd at the Villa Park (Birmingham) in the 35th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 7 pm (UK) on Sunday, May 9. Read our reasons for Aston Villa vs Man Utd prediction and betting tips.
While it is mathematically possible to still make the top seven, two wins from their last nine Premier League games (W2, D3, L4) likely leaves Aston Villa with too great a deficit to cut with five remaining fixtures. Villa’s sturdy defence gives them a chance here though, as their 14 clean sheets this campaign is already the most they’ve kept in a top-flight season since 2009/10 (15). Meanwhile, Man Utd’s busy schedule continues, as they play their second game this week and have another in just two days. Consequently, some careful squad management will be expected from boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Still, they’ve won six of their last eight competitive games (D1, L1) and will all-but secure another top-four position with a victory here.
Aston Villa are right in the middle of the league table. That would be an excellent finish for Dean Smith’s side, especially considering that they have been playing without Jack Grealish for the last couple of months. Villa picked up a win last time out to end a three-game winless run. They were excellent on the road in that fixture, as they beat Everton 2-1. The Toffees were fortunate that the margin of victory wasn’t bigger for Villa as they created a number of clear goalscoring opportunities.
Ollie Watkins scored the opener for Villa after just 13 minutes, before Anwar El Ghazi wrapped up the victory with the second goal ten minutes from time. They’ve racked up some wins and a respectable position on the table as well. They have managed wins in almost every other matchup they’ve faced from their last 5-6 games which should give them the confidence required to attack a fixture of this magnitude. However, it will be a much harder assignment against a confident United side.
As for United, the Red Devils are almost certainly going to be playing in the Champions League next season. The Red Devils are comfortable in second place in the league table, as they have lost just four times all season. United are four points clear of Leicester, with a game in hand. Meanwhile, they have a nine-point advantage over West Ham, who are currently fifth with five games remaining of the season.
United’s form has been excellent in the league throughout the season, and they have won five of their previous six. The only points that they have dropped during this run came last time out on the road against Leeds. United are on an incredible unbeaten run of 24 PL away games (W15, D9), yet that’s come about despite scoring first in just three of their 17 such trips this season. They still haven’t lost a game away from home in 16 months, and their record at Villa Park is staggering.

Moreover, United are unbeaten in their last 21 Premier League away games against Aston Villa (W14, D7) since a 3-1 loss on the opening day of the 1995-96 campaign.
