United Set to Hold Firm at Home
Manchester United sit 17th after four defeats in five but still average 1.5 goals scored at Old Trafford. Aston Villa have managed only 1.0 goal per away game this season despite their stronger recent run of three wins in five. Head to head shows United with six wins and two draws from the last ten meetings. Both teams have found the net in five of United's nine league matches and five of Villa's. United have yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their nine games. Villa sit 10th with a modest 1.4 goals conceded per game overall. The game may turn on whether Villa can break down a home side that rarely fails to score in front of its own fans.
