Preview: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

Only one of the last five games between these clubs ended in a draw.

Manchester United are now going to lock horns with Aston Villa for their matchweek 30 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. This is going to be an intense outing, taking place at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are going to be the hosts for their next league fixture and they will be eager to return to winning ways. They faced a defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in their previous game after conceding a goal in the final moments. Manchester United are placed third on the league table and will be looking to maintain their positive run of form.

Aston Villa have performed poorly in their last two English Premier League matches and will be under pressure for their next one. They are coming in after bagging a win in their UEFA Europa League game, but the upcoming contest will be a tough one for them. The Unai Emery-led side are placed fourth on the points table and a win can get them back in the top three.
