Confidence is sky-high at Villa Park, where they’ve turned their home ground into one of the most intimidating venues in the Premier League.
However, standing in their way is a familiar foe, as Manchester United remain the side that Villa have beaten fewer times than any other in the competition’s history.
United may be inconsistent, but their recent away performances have been far more encouraging, and Ruben Amorim’s side have developed a habit of finding the net on the road.

Over 1.5 goals
Aston Villa have scored freely during their nine-game winning run, while Manchester United have netted at least twice in each of their last five away Premier League matches.
United’s defensive issues are also well documented, with 18 of the 26 goals they’ve conceded this season coming after half-time, suggesting games often open up as they progress.
Villa Park has been a fertile ground for goals in 2025, with only Manchester City collecting more home points this calendar year. At odds of 1/5 with Bet365, over 1.5 goals reflects how unlikely a low-scoring stalemate will be.
Tip: Over 1.5 goals @ 1/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals in the game between Aston Villa and Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes to play 1+ shot on target
Bruno Fernandes continues to be Manchester United’s driving force, especially away from home. The Portuguese playmaker has both scored and assisted in his last two Premier League appearances, and he’s directly involved in more league goals than any other United player this season.
Against a Villa side that presses aggressively and leaves space between the lines, Fernandes should see enough of the ball in advanced areas to test the goalkeeper at least once.
With his tendency to shoot from distance and arrive late into the box, 4/5 with Bet365 for one shot on target looks well priced.
Tip: Bruno Fernandes to play 1+ shot on target @ 4/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Bruno Fernandes plays at least one shot on target against Aston Villa.
Morgan Rogers to play 1+ shot on target
Morgan Rogers’ influence in Villa’s attacking play continues to grow, having been involved in eight goals across his last 11 Premier League games.
While many of those contributions have come away from home, his confidence is clearly high after scoring twice against West Ham last weekend.
Rogers has attempted 3+ shots in four of his last seven league appearances, and with Villa dominating possession at home, he should find opportunities to test United’s back line making 33/50 with Bet365 a strong option for the Villa midfielder to hit the target.
Tip: Morgan Rogers to play 1+ shot on target @ 33/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Morgan Rodgers plays at least one shot on target against Manchester United.
