Sir Alex Ferguson will no doubt be looking forward to a fixture against Aston Villa in the live Saturday evening match as Manchester United look to revive their Premier League fortunes. United have an excellent record against Villa ahead of their trip to Villa Park and they start the match as 4/6 favourites, while Villa are priced 4/1 in the match odds with Ladbrokes.
Villa have won only one of their last 29 matches against United in all competitions and have won only one of the last fifteen league matches between the two at Villa Park. It is difficult to see things getting any better as they have endured their worst start to a Premier League season since 2005.
They may sit in eighth place in the table but the concern is the fact that they are yet to play any big teams and despite only losing one of their last ten in the league at Villa Park, their three victories there this season came against struggling Blackburn, Wigan and new boys Norwich.
Darren Bent will be one man who enjoys the sight of Villa Park though as he has scored five of his six goals there this term and he is available at odds of 6/1 to score first with Ladbrokes.
Villa have encountered troubles when scoring first against United in recent season though as three of the last four Aston Villa v Man Utd matches have seen United come from behind to win or draw. Ladbrokes offer 4/1 for United to come from behind and win or draw this weekend and that looks very tempting.
Meanwhile, both teams have scored in the last four meetings between the two and both teams to score on Saturday is available at evens.
Nemanja Vidic scored two goals against Villa in their two games last season and he is available at huge odds of 33/1 to score first with Ladbrokes.com, which looks well worth a punt, even if it's just an each-way bet. Vidic's teammate Javier Hernandez is a 4/1 fancy in the first scorer market and it is worth noting that he has scored five of his six league goals away from Old Trafford this season.
Despite United's well publicised recent struggles, they are second in the league and have won their last four away matches in a row. They are unbeaten in ten away matches this season, winning seven, and we fancy they can extend that run against Villa.
They may have failed to win their last three in all competitions but expect them to be back to full strength at Villa Park and the United win by a margin of one goal is priced 11/4. Meanwhile, the correct score of 2-1 to United can be backed at 8/1 as they look to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table.
