Manchester United welcome Aston Villa at Old Trafford, Manchester on Sunday, Nov 8 at 5:30 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Manchester United come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Aston Villa travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Manchester United here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Aston Villa, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Manchester United won 3–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Manchester United a slight edge, but Aston Villa are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
