Prediction and Preview
Battle at Old Trafford: Manchester United vs. Aston Villa
Tuesday night showdown at Old Trafford on November 26, 2023, Manchester United and Aston Villa are set to clash in what promises to be a riveting encounter. The match, scheduled to kick off at 01:30 AM IST (UTC +5:30), holds significant implications for both teams as they navigate the challenges of the Premier League.
Head-to-Head and Current Form:
The historical head-to-head record between the two teams stands at two wins for Manchester United, one win for Aston Villa, and two draws in their last five encounters. The last meeting in April 2023 ended with Manchester United securing a narrow 1-0 victory. However, both teams are entering the fixture with commendable recent form — Manchester United with a form line of WLLDL and Aston Villa with a formidable WWDWD across all competitions.
Injury Woes for Manchester United:
Manchester United's lineup is significantly hampered by a string of absentees. The notable omissions include key players such as Casemiro, Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martínez, Mason Mount, Victor Lindelöf, Jadon Sancho, and Emiliano Buendía. Additionally, Anthony Martial, Amad Diallo, and Raphaël Varane are doubtful for the match. The absence of these players poses a considerable challenge for manager's lineup selection, especially in defense and midfield.
Aston Villa's Missing Pieces:
Aston Villa is not without its share of challenges, with several key players ruled out. Tyrone Mings, Youri Tielemans, Bertrand Traoré, Pau Torres, and Matty Cash will be unavailable, adding to the team's selection concerns. Boubacar Kamara's suspension further compounds Villa's defensive woes.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Evans, Varane, Reguilon; McTominay, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho; Rashford
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno; Zaniolo, McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey; Diaby, Watkin
