Match preview

Man United's first defeat under Michael Carrick came just over a week ago, away to ten-man Newcastle. However, such has been their fone form in 2026, the Red Devils still have a three-point cushion to Chelsea and Liverpool. Carrick has won his first five Premier League games across his two spells in charge - only three managers in competition history have won their first six home matches.

Aston Villa were the only English team to win in Europe midweek, beating Lille 1-0 away from home in the UEFA Europa League. That was also Unai Emery’s 100th victory in the Villa dugout. The Spanish tactician will want to turn around a recent downturn in form, which has seen his side win just three of their last 11 EPL matches. Only four sides have collected fewer points during that stretch. Villa have only lost one of their last seven matches on the road, but it was in their most recent away match, against rock-bottom Wolves.

Key stats & injury news

Matthijs de Ligt remains out with a long-term back injury, while Patrick Dorgu and Mason Mount have also recently been absent.

Matty Cash is injured for Villa, while Jadon Sancho is ineligible.

Having lost three of their first six Premier League games this season (W2 D1), Manchester United have since lost just three of their last 23 (W13 D7).

Villa have only picked up a single point in their last three EPL fixtures, but they did win the reverse fixture in December thanks to a Morgan Rogers brace.

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
