Not for the first time, Erik ten Hag is under huge pressure. A 3-0 home defeat by Tottenham last weekend was arguably the worst performance of his tenure, and the loss left the Red Devils down in 13th place in the EPL table. Despite signing a new contract in the summer, Ten Hag is in danger of losing his job unless results improve soon.

United will need to match Aston Villa's intensity. Unai Emery's team play with energy and speed, as they showed in a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday. So, the Red Devils could go back to basics here, sitting deep and holding a compact shape without the ball. That's not great home style for a club of their stature but, despite signing a new contract in the summer, Ten Hag is in danger of losing his job unless results improve soon.

Tune in to find out who comes out on top, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.
