Prediction: 2-1
Aston Villa
Manchester United will have a nice opportunity to get their revenge on Aston Villa for Sunday’s Premier League defeat as the two teams face each other in the EFL Cup last 32 on Thursday evening. The Red Devils failed to impress in the Villa Park loss, but Erik ten Hag’s troops are surely capable of matching the Villans at Old Trafford. All Malacia, Elanga, and Martial are eyeing a spot in the starting XI, as well as Maguire and Fred, while Bruno Fernandes could play some part after serving his one-game ban at the weekend.
Both Antony and Sancho are major doubts, while Dalot is banned for the match. Unai Emery’s men, on the other hand, aim to claim yet another major scalp, but seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. Coutinho has joined Diego Carlos in Villa’s recovery room, whilst all Ings, Young, Sanson, McGinn, and Kamara are pushing for recalls.
