Aston Villa vs. Manchester United Picks
Aston Villa are one of the in-form teams in Europe right now and look a hot test for anyone, Manchester United on the other hand, are incredibly inconsistent.
The Red Devils will need to pull off on of their best performances to get past this Villa side who look as though they could beat anyone.
I’m taking Villa to win this one, despite United’s best efforts.
Other markets include Morgan Rogers to score and assist, Bruno Fernandes to have two or more shots on target and Ollie Watkins to score.
