Manchester United are finally clicking under new manager Louis Van Gaal, as the Red Devils have been in a fine run of form in the Premier League, winning 4 matches in succession and losing only 2 since the turn of the year. An emphatic 2-1 away victory against Liverpool courtesy of two incredible goals from Juan Mata, ensured that Louis Van Gaal's men are well on their of achieving Champions League football next season.
United who are currently in fourth place in the Premier League table will be looking to gain maximum points against Villa on Saturday, as they look to maintain their fine run of form and cement their place in the top 4 of the Premier League table.
United have lost only twice at Old Trafford this season, and they will look to maintain their dominant record at home with a great performance in front of their home fans against Villa.
A win will be necessary for the Red Devils as they will look to gain momentum for their crunch tie against their "noisy neighbours" Manchester City next weekend.
But Aston Villa could play spoilsport as they will look to gain maximum points themselves. Villa have found themselves in yet another relegation battle this season, after recently sacked manager Paul Lambert could not turn around the club's poor run of form in the Premier League.
The arrival of new manager Tim Sherwood brought smiles on the faces of the frustrated Villa fans, as he guided the team to a fantastic 2-1 victory at home over midland rivals West Bromwich Albion and a dominant 4-0 victory away to Sunderland. But a 1-0 home loss to Swansea City have put them back in the relegation mix. Hence, a morale boosting victory over Manchester United on Saturday would do great to their chances of Premier League survival.
Arsenal take on Liverpool in an early kick off on Saturday and United will be hoping for a Liverpool victory, as a victory over Aston Villa and a loss for third placed Arsenal against Liverpool will bring them up to third place in the Premier League table.
The corresponding fixture last season saw Manchester United bounce back from an early scare with a rampant 4-1 victory. Ashley Westwood scored an early freekick for Villa and offered an upset on the cards, but a brace from captain Wayne Rooney which included a neatly converted spot-kick, and goals from Juan Mata and Javier Hernandez ensured that the three points remained at Old Trafford.
Juan Mata scored for United for the first time in this fixture last season, and given his performance against Liverpool before the international break with two world class goals, all eyes will be on him as he continues to impress Louis Van Gaal with his performances and establishes himself as a crowd favourite at Manchester United.
Rest assured, the result of this fixture will definitely change the complexion of both ends of the table, as both teams will be eyeing a victory.
Will Aston Villa cause a major upset for Manchester United, or will United stamp their dominance on a struggling Villa side in their quest for Champions League football?
Kick Off: April 4 19:30 (IST).
