Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Man Utd
Manchester United haven’t seemed to be a team recently. Their poor team chemistry on the pitch has already led to problems in the attacking line as they can only rely on individual skills of some players. The Red Devils haven’t been able to score a goal in their 4 consecutive games for the first time since 1992. New owners of the club have already announced that Erik ten Hag will leave the side soon, with Graham Potter coming as a new manager.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa is one of the brightest teams of the current season. Now they are in the top 3, 1 point behind Arsenal. Attacking actions are what impresses most. Ollie Watkins has scored 9 goals and made 6 assists. He has participated in the 8 goals scored in the away games (4+4). The most important thing is that with each of these goals Aston Villa either had a lead or leveled the score.
Man Utd – Aston Villa prediction
Only the 1930/31 season saw Manchester United losing more games (16) than they’ve already lost now (13). Injuries are one of the reasons. Eriksen is about to get back in this game, which will help to create some attempts. However, defenders Martínez, Lindelöf and Maguire will miss the game which will help Aston Villa to act freely in the attacking actions.
I think that we’ll see many goals. Both teams will miss some defenders and their forwards will be able to create attempts on goals.
