With Aston Villa riding an incredible wave of momentum ahead of Manchester United’s visit, we predict that they will defeat the Red Devils 2-1 at Villa Park. Unai Emery’s side are on a nine-game winning run in all competitions, reflected clearly in the numbers: The Villans have won 90% of their last matches, averaging 3.30 goals per game, while conceding just 1.10. At home, they are flawless, boasting a 100% win rate and 0.40 goals conceded per match, underlining their dominance in Birmingham. Despite missing Tyrone Mings, Ross Barkley, and Pau Torres, Villa showed no signs of weakness in their thrilling 3-2 win over West Ham, with squad depth once again proving decisive.
The Red Devils head into Sunday's clash in decent form themselves, collecting 1.90 points per game overall and scoring 2.30 goals per match, though defensive issues persist, with BTTS landing in 80% of their recent games. United are strong on the road, winning 60% of away fixtures, and Benjamin Sesko could return to the starting XI after impressing off the bench in a 4-4 draw with Bournemouth. There are no fresh injury concerns for Ruben Amorim’s side.
Given Aston Villa's brilliant winning run and Man Utd's shaky defence, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, with additional value on BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (two high-scoring attacks).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 16:30.
