Aston Villa vs Manchester United Preview

Aston Villa vs Manchester United

Competition – English Premier League

Stadium: Villa Park

Date: 21st December 2025

Kick-off time – 16:30 GMT

Aston Villa host Manchester United at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be a fascinating Premier League encounter between sides in contrasting form. Villa arrive in exceptional form, having won their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing saw them secure an impressive 3-2 away victory at West Ham United. Prior to that, they won 2-1 away at FC Basel in the Europa League after beating Arsenal 2-1 at home. Earlier in this sequence, they claimed a remarkable 4-3 away win at Brighton & Hove Albion and defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at home. This perfect run of five consecutive victories demonstrates their current momentum and quality.

Manchester United travel to the Midlands in uncertain form after sharing a dramatic 4-4 draw at home with AFC Bournemouth in their most recent match. Prior to that, they won 4-1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers after drawing 1-1 at home with West Ham United. Earlier in this sequence, they secured a 2-1 away victory at Crystal Palace but lost 1-0 at home to Everton. This run of one win, two draws and two losses highlights their inconsistency and defensive fragility, particularly evident in the eight goals conceded across their last two fixtures.

The head-to-head record strongly favours Manchester United, who have won four of the last five meetings with the other ending in a draw. Most recently, Manchester United claimed a 2-0 home win in May 2025, while the sides drew 0-0 at Villa Park in October 2024. Manchester United also won 2-1 away in February 2024, 3-2 at home in December 2023, and 1-0 at home in April 2023. Despite Aston Villa’s excellent current form, they have not beaten Manchester United in their last five encounters.
