Key Highlights
- Aston Villa have won nine games in a row in all competitions.
- Manchester United, with only one competition to worry about, have won just twice in their past seven outings.
- When they face these opponents, though, United begin to resemble the force they once were.
- Villa have even managed to make Alex Ferguson’s successors look good: in 18 league games against United since 2013-14, Villa have won two, drawn four and lost 12. Today they will have momentum on their side.
- And a much more capable manager.
