Aston Villa is set to face Manchester United in a Premier League clash, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm BST at Villa Park. Villa will aim to take advantage of United's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly their lack of pace at the back. They will likely focus on outmuscling and outrunning United in midfield. In fact, even a youth team might feel confident about their chances against United's midfield. Expect Leon Bailey to exploit the space left by Diogo Dalot when he moves infield, while Jaden Philogene will look to overpower Noussair Mazraoui. One of the ongoing issues for United, particularly under manager Erik Ten Hag, is their struggle for control in matches. Rasmus Højlund's hold-up play may not be sufficient to help them maintain possession, and the wide players seem more inclined to chase goals rather than support ball retention. This could result in a series of aimless passes that fail to find their target. As the match unfolds, it will be interesting to see how both teams adapt to these dynamics.
