The final Premier League clash on Boxing Day 2023 takes place at Old Trafford as both Manchester United and Aston Villa aim to bounce back after disappointing results last time out.
The Red Devils have had a disappointing season in all competitions thus far, and they will be desperate to finish 2023 on a high after slipping to a miserable 2-0 defeat to West Ham before Christmas.
As things stand, Erik ten Hag's side's Champions League prospects are looking bleak. They have slipped to eighth in the Premier League, and are 11 points behind third-placed Aston Villa heading into this Boxing Day encounter.
In stark contrast, it's been an incredible turnaround in little over a year for Villa under Unai Emery. They had the chance to move top of the Premier League on Friday night, but they struggled against a Sheffield United low black and could only manage a 1-1 draw.
