Aston Villa will welcome Manchester United at Villa Park on Saturday evening as both teams look to get the better of each other in this Premier League game. The Villans suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Red Devils in the EFL Cup earlier this weekend, so they will be eager to get some revenge by collecting maximum points in front of their home fans.
Aston Villa Vs Manchester United: Talking Tactics
Steven Gerrard will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and would rely on the quickness of Ollie Watkins and the guile of Philippe Coutinho to cause a lot of problems for the opposition during the 90 minutes.
Ralf Rangnick could opt for a 4-3-1-2 formation and might instruct his players to retain possession well so that they can feed some decent balls to the feet of Bruno Fernandes, who will be Man United’s main playmaker in the final third.
