Manchester United face Aston Villa for the second time in a week as they go head to head in the Premier League this weekend.

Steven Gerrard’s first trip to Old Trafford as a manager ended in a narrow 1-0 FA Cup defeat that could have easily swung either way.

Since then his squad has been boosted by the arrival of Lucas Digne on a permanent transfer and Phillipe Coutinho has started training with his new side. Both could be unleashed here.

United are struggling with a host of injury issues across the field, none greater than Cristiano Ronaldo who missed the cup clash and hasn’t trained much this week either.

Ralf Rangnick faces a tricky January as he attempts to resolve internal issues among his squad and add to it via the January transfer window, while keeping the points flowing on the field.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Man Utd

Villa were unlucky not to defeat United at Old Trafford the other night as strikes from Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins were ruled out by VAR with the tightest of margins.

Coutinho and Digne will add fresh impetus into Villa’s attacking ranks and will both hope to hit the ground running.

Villa Park will be rocking should Coutinho make his debut for the club, and the players must feed on that. Expect a high-intensity clash that Villa could well sneak with a moment of magic.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-0 Man Utd (10/1 at bet365)
