The Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal hopes the team`s dominance over Aston Villa to continue tonight. The Red Devils have an incredible record of Villa Park, where they have not lost since 1995 onwards, having achieved 12 wins from 19 matches. Here is our analysis on the upcoming game and of course, our reliable football prediction.
It is unlikely that David de Hea to launch as a holder for the guests tonight, because he is not in a good shape because of the continued speculation about a transfer to Real Madrid. His place will once again be occupied by the new recruit Sergio Romero.
The Argentinian national dealt skillfully with a 1:0 victory over Tottenham last weekend and the entry in the form of Bastian Schweinsteiger will provide additional options for van Gaal for choice in the midfield.
But Marouane Fellaini and Phil Jones are definitely dropping out for the battle in Birmingham. The attack at United will be led by the captain Wayne Rooney, who has had 13 goals in his career against Villa - more than against any other team.
Both teams began the new season with a defeat with 1:0, and the new player of the hosts Mike Richards will have the privilege to renew their rivalry with United after playing for many years at Manchester City and then at Fiorentina. In his career, he has had five victories over the Red Devils, including 6:1 at Old Trafford in 2011.
Last season the match analyzed by football stats of Villa Park ended with 1:1, and the final victory over United was on 12th December 2009 with 1:0 at Old Trafford. Then for the guests there was Stiliyan Petrov playing and the current player of the 20-time champion of England, Ashley Young.
Our estimate is that United will not lose to Aston Villa, but the team is not in a good shape yet and we do not think it will win. Our football pick for that event is X.
