Overview
- Kick-off is 16:30 GMT on Sunday at Villa Park with live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League in the UK.
- Unai Emery's side have won nine straight in all competitions and 10 of their last 11 in the league to stay within reach of Arsenal and Manchester City.
- Manchester United are without AFCON-bound Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo, with Casemiro suspended and defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire still out.

- Despite Villa's surge, they have won only one of their last 26 Premier League home matches against Manchester United, though in-form Morgan Rogers is highlighted as a key threat.
