Manchester United-Aston Villa is a match valid for the 19th day of the Premier League and is played Tuesday at 9 pm: TV, lineups, predictions.
He did not have a peaceful Christmas, Erik ten Hag. Manchester United’s bad moment continues unabated, and in the pre-Christmas Premier League round came another drubbing, this time at home to West Ham (2-0), which only deepened the Red Devils’ crisis.
At the London Stadium, Bruno Fernandes and his teammates again ran out of goals – fourth game in a row without scoring – but, unlike the Liverpool match the week before, Lady Luck turned her back on them. At Anfield, in fact, United had been kissed by luck and “saved” by the inaccuracy of the Reds, who had not needed 34 shots toward Onana’s goal to win a dominated game (0-0). In London, on the other hand, ten Hag’s team capitulated in the second half after badly wasting a couple of chances: Bowen took advantage of an indecision by the former Inter Milan defender to put the Hammers ahead. And Ghanaian Kudus then completed the task. A defeat that earned the Londoners’ own overtaking in the standings and caused the Red Devils to slip to eighth place.
Ten Hag always on the gridiron
Ten Hag remains on the gridiron. And it’s not out of the question that in the event of a knockout with Aston Villa, things could get ugly for the former Ajax coach, who has been in the eye of the storm for months.

The Villans come to Old Trafford after a disappointing home draw with bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United (1-1). The last in the standings interrupted the Birmingham club’s incredible record, which had been winning in front of its home crowd for 15 consecutive matches. Saving Aston Villa from what by now seemed a certain defeat was former Roma player Nicolò Zaniolo, who scored his first Premier League goal. In the midst of recovery, the talent of the Italian national team allowed Unai Emery to at least limit the damage. However, the Villans remain third in the standings and have not lost since early November.
The Prediction
The one with Sheffield United has all the air of being an accident of the road for an Aston Villa that has gone beyond the most optimistic expectations in this first leg. We don’t feel like giving the Villans losers against a Manchester United in free fall: Emery’s team should avoid defeat at Old Trafford in a one-goal-per-side match.
