Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Aston Villa V Manchester United clash

A first win for Aston Villa over Manchester United since 2009 would end a run of nine matches without a victory and boost their chances of safety. While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men can extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to 17 matches as they push for a top-four finish. Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas has made a prediction for the game. "I have said that the one team who have not faltered has been Man Utd. They should have won at Tottenham but their restart has been full of pace, power, great finishing - Anthony Martial now has 15 in the Premier League. Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood are scoring again too. The movement is exciting up top, but we know they can be cold too, Martial in particular. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes have worked a treat, and so it is going well. Momentum can carry you along nicely, and they have earned that with their performances recently," Nicholas wrote.  "Aston Villa are due a break I think. They played well against Liverpool and should have gone ahead on a couple of occasions but did not take their chances, and could not make the most of their counter-attacks. They rely on Jack Grealish, by far their most talented player. John McGinn does not seem to be able to retain the ball, nor is he getting hold of the ball. "I do think they are due something, and it might be this one where they get something back from it. I do not know how I am coming up with two goals for Aston Villa, but there is something in my head saying that the relegation scrap will go right down to the wire. If they go and win at West Ham later on and they stay up they will take it all day long, but I have a feeling they may get something from this one." Nicholas thinks that the game will end with a 2-2 draw. Source: Sky Sports
