Aston Villa Predicted Lineup vs. Manchester United
How Aston Villa Have Lined up Recently
Partially due to a lack of options, Unai Emery has been very consistent in his team selection all season so far, with eight players starting all eight Champions League and Premier League fixtures thus far.

The main talking point surrounds Jhon Durán who, despite scoring six goals in all competitions, has only started once, this in the EFL Cup against Wycombe Wanderers, but could continue to be deployed in the super-sub role.
Aston Villa’s Recent Form and Tactics
After beating one of the world’s biggest and most-successful football clubs on Wednesday, can Villa do it again?
In mid-week, Unai Emery’s team made it two wins out of two in the Champions League by claiming the scalp of Bayern Munich, with Durán’s stunning strike ten minutes from time sparking wild scenes of jubilation.

Back in the Premier League meantime, despite a rather underwhelming 2-2 draw with Ipswich last Sunday, the Villans still occupy fifth place, having lost only once thus far, with many making them favourites to beat Manchester United this weekend.
Aston Villa Injuries to Consider
This injuries are starting to pile up; Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara are long-term absentees, while John McGinn is now also sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
Jacob Ramsey hobbled off after less than half an hour against Bayern Munich, meaning he is also unlikely to feature.
As a result, Jaden Philogene will keep his place in the team, having started for the first time since rejoining the club from Hull in mid-week.

Meanwhile, Amadou Onana appeared to suffer an injury during the Champions League win and is expected to be ok, if not, Ross Barkley will come in as Youri Tielemans’ partner.
Lastly, Matty Cash was back on the bench on Wednesday, having not featured since 24 August due to a hamstring injury – although he’s unlikely to be thrown straight back in just yet, with Ezri Konsa continuing to fill in at right-back, chosen over Lamare Bogarde and Kosta Nedeljković.
