Aston Villa and Manchester United face off on Thursday evening in one of the biggest games in both clubs seasons.

The home side are currently four points adrift of safety with just five games remaining following Watford’s win against Norwich on Tuesday.

A victory for Dean Smith’s side would put them on 30 points, just one win from moving above Watford and out of danger.

Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s United team have picked up seven points from a possible nine since the coronavirus pandemic halted the season.

An entertaining 5-2 thrashing of Bournemouth last time out will bode well for his side’s confidence as they look to move within a point of Leicester in fourth.

Aston Villa v Manchester United kicks off at 8:15pm GMT on Thursday, July 9.
