Aston Villa surprisingly only played 1-1 against bottom-placed Sheffield United on Friday. Compared to this game, Unai Emery swaps in two positions. Diego Carlos starts in central defense. To do this, Konsa moves to the right. Cash, who played right-back on Friday, is suspended. In addition, Dendoncker starts in midfield instead of Diaby.

About the personnel: Erik ten Hag made four changes compared to the 0-2 defeat against West Ham. Varane starts in central defense instead of Kambwala. Dalot replaces Shaw at the back left. Eriksen is preferred in the center over McTominay and Rashford starts for Antony on the right wing.

Today’s opponent comes to Old Trafford with a big chest. Aston Villa have not lost in ten competitive games. Particularly impressive: During this time the Villans won against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City. They are in third place in the table and are only three points behind leaders Liverpool. If Unai Emery’s side can maintain this outstanding form, a first Premier League title in more than 40 years will be anything but unrealistic.

Manchester United have only won one of their last seven competitive games. Erik ten Hag’s team is currently only eighth in the Premier League. The air for the trainer is therefore becoming increasingly rarefied. Yesterday it was announced that British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe had bought 25 percent of Manchester United. He should be responsible for sporting matters in the future. That could have a decisive influence on the coaching question. How long will ten Hag be on the sidelines?
