Manchester United play host to Aston Villa on Friday night looking to extend their unbeaten record in the Premier League to 10 matches.
Meanwhile, Villa travel to Old Trafford knowing that victory will move them to within one point of their second-placed opponents in the standings.
Starting XI: Manchester United vs. Aston Villa
1) Manchester United left it late, but a Marcus Rashford goal deep into second-half stoppage time saw off a stubborn Wolves outfit. That result extends United’s unbeaten run to nine in the Premier League. On the injury front, it was a case of mixed news: Aaron Wan-Bissaka returned to the starting lineup, while Victor Lindelöf dropped out of the side altogether after re-injuring his back against Leicester City.
Aston Villa move the ball forward quickly, usually down the left side where Grealish works his magic. Not surprisingly, he (again) ranks as the Premier League’s most-fouled player, as defenders often resort to chopping him down when he’s running with the ball. Manchester United desperately need Aaron Wan-Bissaka back at his best to deal with the threat of Grealish down his side.
