Aston Villa have lost 8 games in a row and they will be relegated no doubt. It’s unlikely they manage to end their poor run at Old Trafford. On top of that the Villans have lost 12 of their 16 away matches this season.
Moreover it will be hard for the visitors to score as well. The thing is Manchester United recorded clean-sheets in 10 of their 15 home matches. Only solid teams managed to net a goal at Old Trafford this season (Southampton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Swansea and only one lowly Norwich City). Louis van Gaal’s side tend to possess the ball for so long the other team can hardly attack. The Red Devils managed to beat West Ham like this recently. And they are likely beat Aston Villa as well.

The visitors have recorded only 5 goals in their last 12 away matches in the EPL. They earned only 3 points in their last 15 matches on the road. On top of that they managed to score only once in their last 5 away games. Manchester United in their turn recorded clean-sheets in 3 of their last 4 home matches. The other was against Arsenal which they won as well (3:2).
We should also mention that Aston Villa are historically convenient opponent for the Red Devils as they lost only one of their last 40 matchups against the Villans. On top of that Manchester United beat Aston Villa on the road earlier this season. And Birmingham’s side weren’t that sloppy back then. Overall Aston Villa are unlikely to surprise the hosts.
Prediction: Manchester United to record a clean-sheet.
