Manchester United and Aston Villa will clash on Tuesday in the Premier League when both of them have been going through a bad phase with disappointing performances. While Erik ten Hag’s side have failed to score in four straight games in all competitions and were humbled in their 2-0 defeat at West Ham before Christmas, the incredible run of Unai Emery's team's 15 Premier League home wins in a row is over as they drew 1-1 at home against bottom club Sheffield United last time out. Despite this, it has been a superb year for Villa and their main aim for 2024 is to finish in the top six and try to win the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Manchester United will host Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Tuesday, December 26, 2023. The match will kick off at 20:00 GMT or 3 pm ET.
The Manchester United vs. Aston Villa match will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video in the UK. It can also be watched on the Amazon Prime Video app and website. The match can be followed on the Standard Sports live blog. USA Network will broadcast the game in the US. It will be available for live streaming on NBC.com.
Manchester United might have Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial back from illness, so Ten Hag may take young Willy Kambwala out of the firing line. Diogo Dalot will most likely make it to the squad after a one-game ban. Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and many more are injured so they will miss the match.
Aston Villa defender Pau Torres is likely to join the team despite continuing to nurse an ankle injury. Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara are suspended, and a calf problem may keep Youri Tielemans out.
