Aston Villa are preparing to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, February 11, 2024.
Villa are currently 4th in the league table, while United are 6th.
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, Paul Merson has made his prediction on Aston Villa vs Manchester United.
According to Merson, the game will end in a 2-2 draw.
"Two weeks ago, I'd have said Aston Villa straight away as they were on a run of 15 successive wins at home. Their last two home games at Villa Park barring the Sheffield United one have been worrying, to say the least," Merson wrote on Sportskeeda.
"Manchester United, on the other hand, have so much pace on the counterattack and are feeling good again, so I can't see Villa dealing with their threat. I usually never fancy Manchester United away from home, but I think Villa have been sussed out at home in recent weeks, so I'm going for a 2-2 draw. However, if I had to pick a winner, I would go for Manchester United.
"Kobbie Mainoo's emergence has been a bright spark for Manchester United. The lad was a bit nervous when he first came into the team, but he has really imposed himself in recent weeks and looks like a top-class talent. The goal he scored the other day was absolutely amazing - if Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo had scored such a goal, you wouldn't hear the end of it."
