Manchester United hold a Premier League record of the longest away unbeaten streak versus a team; 23 matches unbeaten against Aston Villa.

Today provides a chance to add to the record at Villa Park when United face the Midlands side at 2 pm.

The Red Devils will be keeping a close eye on two other games today as both Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur face tough tests in their fixtures.

Three points separate United and third-placed Spurs, whilst only a point is between the Reds and the Magpies, who occupy fourth place. United have a game in hand on both teams.

Emery returns to face United first

The day marks Unai Emery’s first game in charge of Villa and both sides will meet again on Thursday, November 10 in a Carabao Cup tie at Old Trafford.

The last time Emery faced United was during the 2021/2022 Champions League group stage as Villarreal boss, United won both matches
