Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

I never thought we’d be saying this, but Manchester United will be desperate to take all three points against down-and-out Aston Villa to maintain their bid for a Europa League spot come the end of the season.

The tides of change have certainly swept through Old Trafford since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and United are no longer the side they used to be. That said, they still remain a force at Old Trafford as they’ve suffered just two defeats on home turf all season amidst an overall record of  9-4-2  20/7.

The Red Devils also possess the meanest defensive record at home in the Premier League having kept a total of 10 clean sheets from their 15 home matches to date. More of a solid defensive european outfit than the swashbuckling attacking side of the past, United know another clean sheet here will almost certainly end in victory for them here.

Visitors Aston Villa have seemingly resigned themselves to their fate of certain relegation now down to the Championship after a miserable campaign which sees them rock-bottom of the Premier League with just 16 points to their name.

The Villans can certainly live up to their nickname at Old Trafford though this afternoon if they spoil United’s party by avoiding defeat, but the chances of this happening are pretty unlikely to say the least!

Aston Villa hold a poor away record of  1-3-12  11/33 and they’ve lost their last four away matches on the trot with defeats suffered at West Ham, Stoke City, Manchester City and Swansea City, along with six defeats from their last seven.
