Manchester United take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round of 1/16-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, November 10th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United have added in the course of this season. The "Red Devils" began cooperation with ten Hag with a couple of defeats. But Eric, perhaps, did not correctly assess everything initially, but he showed the ability to quickly notice errors and correct them. And also make timely responsible decisions, for example, without hesitation, expel Ronaldo from the composition - and then, having settled the conflict, return him. This Manchester United option seems to be a legitimate contender, clearly not for the title (what is worth 3-6 in the derby with City), but for climbing back into the quartet of the strongest. In Birmingham, however, there was a new misfire - they lost to Aston Villa 1-3, having conceded twice at the very beginning. But at the same time, the question is - what is the motivation and attitude for the League Cup? Most likely, we will see faces from line-ups of Europa League matches.
Aston Villa start new month with new coach. "Villans" have already received a certain tradition - to change the manager in the fall. Gerrard came like that a year ago. Stephen was able to more or less improve the game, compared to Dean Smith, that he did not understand what to do without Jack Grealish, sold to Manchester City. But still, the team and its game did not look convincing, and as a result, the Liverpool legend was more and more dissatisfied. And, without waiting for some kind of sharp failure, they removed it in the middle of autumn. "Stevie G" replaced Unai Emery, but the Spaniard immediately made a reservation that he would take up duties in November. So both 4-0 with Brentford and the “mirror” defeat to Newcastle were even before the return of this specialist to Foggy Albion. He made his debut with United, and obviously prepared a couple of surprises that justified themselves in the very first minutes.
Aston Villa took 4 points with Manchester United last season in the Premier League. But in the cup, in January, it all ended with a minimal victory for the Mancunians - McTominay scored the only goal at the very beginning. Perhaps ten Hag would be happy to get rid of this tournament. But after the defeat in the Premier League, a revenge is needed, so we bet on the victory of the "Mancunians".
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
