Aston Villa will be aiming to secure a Villa Park victory over Manchester United for the first time in over 25 years when the sides meet in Sunday’s Premier League clash.

Aston Villa vs Man United Preview
Having taken just five points from the last available 18 in their own backyard, it is hard to see Dean Smith’s men ending their long wait for a home victory against this opposition.
Indeed, the Red Devils are the league’s only team to avoid defeat on the road so far this campaign, remaining unbeaten in 24 away games stretching back to last season.
That run looks set to continue considering they have won five and lost none of their previous six league fixtures, not to mention their dominant record against this opposition.

All in all, those 8/11 (1.73) odds actually look like generous value on Manchester United extending their unbeaten streak against Villa to 18 games in a row by coming out on top for a 13th time in 15 encounters.
