The 6th round of the English Premier League will start at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester on Saturday, 25 September. The stadium will be the meeting place for the upcoming head-to-head confrontation between Manchester United and Aston Villa which will start at 14:30 GMT.
The rivals are on the same level: the hosts were happy with an away win, while the guests won convincingly at home. We hope that our prediction for the Manchester United vs Aston Villa match will be correct.
Manchester United
The team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues their victorious march through the tournament. However, from match to match, the resistance to the Mancunians is growing, and it is becoming more and more difficult for the team to achieve a positive result. So in the 5th round, Manchester United, with great difficulty, managed to achieve a 2-1 victory in a tough match against the capital’s West Ham. Nevertheless, the team received three points. Ahead of the match with Aston Villa, the Red Devils are in 3rd place in the standings with 13 points.
Aston Villa
The team of Dean Smith is still far from their ideal form. There is no stability in the team’s game. In the 4th round, Aston Villa lost with a score of 0-3 on the road to Chelsea. But in the 5th round, Dean Smith’s charges defeated Everton at home with the same score. This victory allowed the team to gain 7 points and move up to 10th place in the standings.
Head-to-head statistics
