Manchester United are the most chaotic team in the Premier League at the moment, with their 4-4 draw against Bournemouth last time out being a perfect example of the lack of balance that exists in the side. The Red Devils have definitely improved from an attacking point of view with their summer signings proving to be an upgrade on the options they had last season.

However, United are still extremely vulnerable in midfield and at the back - making them a decent team to back for BTTS angles at the moment. Ruben Amorim showed signs of slightly changing his system, but if anything, this made United even more open in the middle of the park, with Bournemouth managing nine shots on target overall.

It should also be noted that the Cherries only produced an xG of 1.94 to United’s 3.40. This is a recurring issue for United; they are conceding goals from low xG chances and have an xG against difference of -4 in the Premier League this term. Aston Villa have seen BTTS in four of their last five matches in the Premier League, with their only clean sheet in this recent run coming at home against Wolves.

Senne Lammens had a mixed evening on Monday night as Manchester United drew 4-4 with Bournemouth. It’s hard to praise the performance of a keeper that conceded four goals, but Lammens was crucial in earning United a point in that game with five saves, two of which came in the dying moments of the game.

Lammens has kept just one clean sheet across his 10 Premier League appearances this season, but this is more down to him being let down by United’s shape and lack of structure defensively. He’s been forced into making 23 saves across his 10 appearances in the Premier League (2.30 per 90) and can be tested at least twice here by a Villa side that are full of confidence, having won each of their last five matches across all competitions.

Aston Villa have drawn 2+ saves from the opposition keeper in 11 of their 16 Premier League matches this term, including each of their last four games - coinciding with an upturn in form for Unai Emery’s side.

Cunha is starting to attract a bit of criticism for his performances at Manchester United so far, with just three goal contributions across his 11 starts in the Premier League - but I still think he’ll blossom into an effective player for the Red Devils with his shot volume standing out here.

Cunha is expected to lead the line for Manchester United with Benjamin Sesko only recently returning to first team action after an injury. Cunha has had 41 shots across his 13 Premier League appearances this term (3.92 per 90) which is only one effort fewer than Mbeumo, who won’t be available here as he joins up with his national team for AFCON.

Mbeumo’s absence from the squad makes Cunha an even more important player for United, as Amad Diallo will also be missing for the next few weeks. 15 of Cunha’s 41 attempts in the Premier League have found the target (1.43 per 90), suggesting that he will be a real threat for Manchester United here. Cunha had eight shots against Bournemouth last time out, with three of those efforts finding the target.

Ezri Konsa has long been one of the most effective centre backs in the Premier League when it comes to winning fouls. He’s drawn 17 fouls across his 15 Premier League appearances this term (1.15 per 90) - a metric that ranks him in the 89th percentile for winning fouls when compared to other Premier League centre backs.

Konsa plays for a Villa side that win more fouls than any other side in the Premier League, drawing 218 across their 16 matches so far (13.6 per game). Manchester United were forced into committing 11 fouls in this fixture last season, with Konsa being fouled on that occasion - despite only being on the pitch for 12 minutes before being replaced due to injury.

Konsa’s main opponent here is likely to be Matheus Cunha, who is currently averaging 0.86 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League, and maintained an average of 1.45 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League last season for Wolves.

Morgan Rogers started the season very slowly, but has grown into the campaign like the majority of the Villa side. Rogers has registered eight goal contributions across his 16 appearances in the Premier League this season, and netted twice against West Ham last time out to secure a 3-2 win over the Hammers.

One of the goals was a brilliant dipping strike from distance, highlighting the confidence that Rogers is currently playing with. His underlying numbers are also strong with Rogers overachieving his xG by some margin, having scored five goals from a xG tally of just 1.73.

Rogers registered 18 goal contributions across his 37 Premier League appearances this season, and tends to save his best performances for Villa Park - which is a pattern that is also true for Villa as a team. Unai Emery’s side have netted 13 goals across their eight games at Villa Park this term, losing just one of those matches.

Bruno Fernandes has been the best player on the pitch in each of United’s last five matches across all competitions, registering seven goal contributions across those games (three goals, four assists).

Fernandes has also been a goal-contribution machine, but it’s even more impressive this season as he’s been dropped back into a slightly deeper role. He registered a goal and an assist against Bournemouth last time out, with his goal being a superb free kick to get United back into the game.

Overall, Fernandes has registered 12 goal contributions across his 16 appearances for Manchester United this season - five more goals and assists than any other United player. Fernandes may get moved up the pitch here with Amorim having to tweak his squad as Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo have left the group to compete in AFCON.

Matty Cash is given licence to get forward regularly by Unai Emery as shown by the three goals he’s scored in the Premier League this season. Only Emiliano Buendia, Donyell Malen and Morgan Rogers have scored more goals for Villa this season in the Premier League than Cash, highlighting him as an important component of Villa’s attack.

Unai Emery encourages his full backs to push up the pitch as he doesn’t want his forward players in wide areas too often. He prefers to keep them narrow, allowing Villa to be more penetrating in the final third. This has worked effectively again this season, with Cash scoring against Arsenal and Manchester City at Villa Park already this season.

Cash also likes an effort from distance, 11 of his 15 shots in the Premier League have come from outside of the box - as well as two of his three goals in the top-flight. Seven of his 15 attempts have found the target (0.45 per 90), which is a pretty strong record for a full back.
