Aston Villa remains in the fourth position, but the results of Unai Emery’s team have been declining. The Birmingham team has won only 2 out of the last 6 Premier League matches and was eliminated from the FA Cup on Wednesday, losing 1-3 to Chelsea. In the previous Premier League round, Aston Villa thrashed Sheffield United 5-0. However, it cannot be said that Emery’s team has suddenly started playing significantly worse. In recent matches, Aston Villa has had issues with finishing and has not always had the energy for the entire match.
It seems that Manchester United is in its best form since the start of the season. Much of this is attributed to the recent performances of young talents Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, and Koby Minu. In the previous Premier League round, Erik ten Hag’s team defeated West Ham 3-0, and before that, there was a victory over Wolverhampton 4-3 and a draw with Tottenham (2-2). Manchester United is currently in sixth place, trailing Aston Villa by 8 points. Therefore, a victory in this game is crucial for the Red Devils.
