STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sun: Aston Villa v Man Utd

In-form Aston Villa will be looking to continue their fine form when they are visited by Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, writes JOE CITRONE.

After a shaky start to the campaign, Villa have taken off in recent weeks, and will be looking for a 10th consecutive victory on Sunday when the Red Devils come to town.

A win on Sunday would close the gap on Arsenal in top-spot to just three points and make an unlikely title charge look slightly more realistic.

It was certainly one for the neutrals, but Manchester United will be disappointed to drop points at home again as they drew 4-4 against Bournemouth in their most recent outing.

Although progress has been made from Ruben Amorim’s side this season, consistency is still an issue for United, and they will need to fix that if they are to push for European football this season.

However, with Villa in utterly rampant form, it’s hard to look past another win for Unai Emery’s side here, which you can back at 21/20 with starsports.bet.
