Chris Sutton makes SHOCK prediction on Aston Villa vs Manchester United

Aston Villa will host Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, February 11, 2024.

Villa are currently 4th in the league table with 46 points, while the Red Devils are 6th with 38 points.

Unai Emery's side currently have mixed home form with three wins, one draw and one defeat. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag's side have just one win in their last five games as they have suffered three defeats and played one draw.

Ahead of the game, BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made his prediction, According to Sutton the game will end in Villa's 2-1 win.

"Manchester United impressed me in their win over West Ham with the control they had of that game - we have not seen that from them very often recently," said Sutton via BBC.

"People are saying they are getting back to their best form and when Erik ten Hag spoke afterwards, he was as upbeat as I've heard him be all season.

"Rasmus Hojlund is one of the reasons Ten Hag is so positive. He played well, and again took his goal well.

"This is a very different test, however, even if Aston Villa have lost their past two home games, firstly against Newcastle and then to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

"Villa are not out of the title race yet and I am backing them to respond. While I think Manchester United will score, Lisandro Martinez's injury is a big loss for them at the back."
