Aston Villa vs Manchester United 09.07.2020
Man United are the form team in England at the moment. They’ve gone undefeated in their last 16 games in all competitions and are putting a lot of pressure on Chelsea and Leicester in this exciting top 4 race. On paper, they have the easier fixtures remaining and they will be keen to capitalise on them and make them count. Villa meanwhile are in the relegation zone. All is not lost for them however as they still have a fighting chance of survival as they are just a point away from safety. They will battle hard and make it tough for Man United but United just have too much quality and are playing so well at the moment so we expect them to edge out a narrow win here.
