For the Villans, former United club captain Ashley Young will start the game upon another return to the Theatre of Dreams for the experienced defender – a place where he is well-acquainted and will receive a warm reception.
The Red Devils’ defence will be tasked with keeping the prolific Ollie Watkins quiet, as he has been in scintillating form in recent weeks.

How both sides fare ahead of kick-off
Villa boast a 10-game unbeaten streak heading into the clash and have their sights firmly set on European football.
However, the Reds can make it 27 home games unbeaten if they avoid defeat today, alluding to Erik ten Hag’s desire of making Old Trafford a fortress again. Three points will also significantly strengthen United’s grip on a top-four finish. Game on!
