Aston Villa vs Man United: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results - preview today

Aston Villa welcome Manchester United to Villa Park this evening to renew hostilities after a tight match-up in the FA Cup.

While United did triumph on Monday, Ralf Rangnick’s side were hardly convincing and things could well have been different had VAR not ruled out Danny Ings’ leveler after Scott McTominay had opened the scoring.

In the few days since that game, Steven Gerrard’s side have been boosted by the signings of Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne, perhaps making United’s task much more difficult.

Indeed, this could well be the dawn of a new era for the club with Gerrard now having some of his own signings to work into the team.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

Date, kick-off time and venue

The Premier League game is scheduled for a 5.30pm GMT kick-off on Saturday January 15, 2022.
