Manchester United travel to Aston Villa knowing a 10th Premier League defeat of the season would push them nine points adrift of the top five and throw Champions League qualification further into doubt. United are enjoying one of their best moments in a difficult season, winning five of their last seven games in all competitions. Ten Hag has only overseen two fewer league wins than Ange Postecoglou at fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur. United's dreadful form in away matches against teams in the Premier League's top eight has heavily contributed to their regression in 2023/24. The Red Devils have failed to win any of their last 15 away games against opposition starting the day among the top eight.
