Man Utd – Aston Villa

Manchester United takes on Aston Villa in the Premier League 33rd round, with the match holding much more importance for the home side.

United is 4 points behind rivals City in the race for a Top 4 spot and it’s pretty obvious that the hosts can not afford to lose many points in these last 6 rounds. The Devils are on the back of a 2-1 road win against West Ham in the FA Cup, qualifying for the semifinals after previously losing 0-3 at White Hart Lane against Tottenham last weekend. Overall the hosts are in pretty good form, winning 3 of the last 4 matches in all competitions.

Aston Villa is affirming itself as one of the worst teams to play in the Premier League in the last years. The visitors have 16 points in 33 matches, are dead last in the standings and have clearly given up on fighting. Villa is coming after 8 defeats in a row, some of them very ugly. They also lost 12 of their 16 matches on the road this season.

Team news & lineups:

Schweinsteiger, Shaw, Januzaj and Keande will not be in United’s lineup, while Herrera and Jones are doubtful. Aston Villa will have to do without Amavi, while Grealish, Kozak and Agbonlahor are questionable.

Manchester United: De Gea – Fosu-Mensah, Smalling, Blind, Rojo – Schneiderlin, Carrick, Mata, Rooney, Martial – Rashford

Aston Villa: Guzan – Hutton, Clark, Lescott, Cissokho – Veretout, Sanchez, Gueye, Grealish – Ayew, Gestede

A win at home against the worst team in the league is mandatory and United will certainly hope to avoid a potential upset here. It hasn`t been the best season for the Devils and they did often struggle at home, but nevertheless they have been pretty good recently and should have enough to claim a comfortable win here.

Aston Villa is dirt poor, has nothing left to fight for and the players seem to have lost all focus and motivation. The hosts on the other hand are in big need of points. In these circumstances, I can`t see Villa pulling off an upset at Old Trafford. My tip is Manchester United to win with a 1,5 goal handicap. Prediction: Manchester United – Aston Villa 2-0.
