Aston Villa vs Man United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

As the Premier League season progresses, Aston Villa continues their pursuit for a top-four finish with a crucial home game against Manchester United this Sunday afternoon. Unai Emery's team regained momentum in their quest for Champions League qualification with a resounding 5-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane last Saturday.

However, the Villians fell to a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Chelsea in the FA Cup midweek fixture. With their sights set on solidifying their position in the fourth spot, Villa aims to secure another three points with a win against Man United this weekend. The hosts are the favourites ahead of this tie at 5/4 with Betfred while United are 2/1 to win at Villa Park and a draw is 11/4.

Manchester United, on the other hand, has seen a mini-revival of sorts in recent weeks. They have won their last three matches in all competitions, including an impressive 3-0 win over West Ham. Consequently, United have closed the gap to just eight points off the top four. This makes Sunday's trip to Villa Park a potentially season-defining fixture for Erik ten Hag’s team.

Ollie Watkins to score anytime - 6/4

Villa to win and both teams to score - 23/10
