Aston Villa vs Man Utd best betting tips Our Bet Builder selections: Aston Villa to win, Ollie Watkins to score and Luke Shaw carded at 8/1 with Betfred – CLAIM HERE!
Here’s why we’ve made those tips and selections..
- Aston Villa to win: Manchester United have been solid on the road of late, but Aston Villa’s home record is exceptional. The Villans have won their last nine home games in all competitions, while only Manchester City (46) have collected more home Premier League points in 2025 than Villa (40). Emery’s side have also lost the fewest home league games of any ever-present club this year (one).
- Ollie Watkins to score: Aston Villa should be capable of finding the net against a Manchester United defence that conceded four at home to Bournemouth on Monday and has shipped two or more goals in five of their last eight away matches in all competitions. While Watkins has scored just once against United in his career, he ranks 13th in the Premier League for xG and has recorded nearly twice as many big chances as any of his Villa team-mates.
- Luke Shaw to be carded: Shaw, 30, has picked up two yellow cards in his last four Premier League appearances, while only Casemiro has committed more fouls than his 18 league infringements this season.
