Man Utd vs Aston Villa pre match thread

Sunday, kick off 2pm.

Nothing to fear. They're not in great form and we are.

Still no one can answer when we last doubled them.

Someone did the other day. Cant remember the answer mind.

That is really disappointing especially when you think of how many times they've doubled us.

Dec. 1954, we beat them twice in two days.

Think this is a good time to play them so I've gone for a win, and another hoodoo vanished.

Wow, those players must have thought it was a piece of piss. Are any of them still alive waiting to witness the next time?!

Peter McParland, but not sure if he played in those games. I'm sure there's a bigger Villa hoodoo at the forefront of his mind.

The great Johnny Dixon, sadly no longer with us, scored in both the matches, the only Villa captain to lift the FA Cup at Wembley.

Good time to be playing these I think. We obviously go in full confidence and they have had a lot of games recently too. What will suit us is that these wont sit in, they will give us time to play out from the back and into midfield, especially if it's the Burnley flop leading the line.

One change I would definitely make is to give Young a breather. Thankfully Fulham didnt start Daniel James on the left wing as Young couldnt cope when he was switched over there in the second half. If Cash is back he is hardly ready to be starting so would give Chambers a go there up against Rashford. Whether any of Coutinho, Bailey, Cash or Kamara are near a return even to the bench seems debatable. Would take a point and we are capable of getting it, 1-1.

--------Martinez
Chambers, Konsa, Mings, Moreno
------Luiz, Donk
McGinn, Buendia, Ramsey
-------Watkins

Hopefully Man United will have a lovely time tomorrow, leading to a complacent, beach-like attitude on Sunday.

[OCD]

Hopefully they're leggy when they play us and missing key players too.

I'm going to this, so i'm hoping for a win of course, but a draw would be a decent result.

1-1
