Aston Villa v Man United LIVE: Early team news plus how to watch and kick off time

Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Aston Villa at Villa Park this afternoon.

United have only lost one of their last 10 games but that run has seen them miss a whole host of glorious opportunities to climb further up the table. Monday was the latest missed chance to cut the gap between themselves and the Champions League spots, with Ruben Amorim's side throwing away a late lead to draw 4-4 in a chaotic game against Bournemouth.

In terms of the team news, Casemiro is suspended for today's game and so it's likely to be a straight shootout between Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte for who comes into the side. Mainoo's half brother caused a stir by wearing a t-shirt with the message 'Free Kobbie Mainoo' printed on the front on Monday but Amorim insists the antics won't impact his decision on who starts today.

Villa are the in-form team in the Premier League right and are third in the table, so today will be a huge test of Amorim's side.
