Manchester United continues with very bad games and in the last round they were defeated by West Ham with 2-0, and during that match they seemed very harmless to the rival's goal. No easy task awaits them in the new round either, because Aston Villa, who has been playing fantastically lately, is their guest. Ever since clinching a narrow 2-1 victory against Chelsea on December 6th, it's as if they've fallen under some sort of curse, because instead of being spurred on by that mentioned success, an unexpected nosedive in form followed, unfortunately leading to the shattering of some unwelcome long-standing records. After that, they played 4 games, in which they managed to win only one point, and what is particularly worrying is the fact that they did not score a single goal in those matches. Attack is the main problem this season and with 18 goals they have the worst attack in the top 10 teams in the table. In comparison, only bottom-placed Sheffield United have scored fewer goals than them. It hasn't happened to United since 1992 that they haven't scored a single goal in 4 games, which just shows how bad the team's form is at the moment. This match will be played under a lot of pressure, and it really seems like this team doesn't have a leader on the field right now, someone who could wake up the rest of the team. They also have some problems with injuries, so ten Haag is forced to include players like Maino and Kambwala in the first line-up, who are less than 20 years old and really not up to the challenges of the Premier League.

As for Aston Villa, they are having one of their best seasons in recent years. Since the arrival of Emery in the team, the progress is more than obvious and it seems that they are now at the peak of their form. They are currently in the 3rd place in the table with only 1 point less than the first place, and it could very easily have happened that they entered this round as the first place, but still they won only 1 point at home against Sheffield. That game only proves how difficult the Premier League is and that it is actually the hardest to win a game that everyone already sees as a win. Nevertheless, the fact that the Villans had a bad day doesn't mean their form will remain tarnished in the coming weeks, given that prior to this surprising draw, they stunned English soil with impressive 1-0 triumphs over the reigning champions Manchester City and the current leaders, Arsenal. They play very fast and attacking football and only Manchester City have scored more goals than them. In addition to Watkins, who is certainly the most dangerous player of this team, in my opinion, Bailey is a player who can cause a lot of problems for United's defense. He is very fast and very skillful with the ball and I believe he can cause a lot of problems for Shaw, who will be tasked with stopping him. How well they play is shown by the fact that they experienced their last defeat at the beginning of November, and they played games against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City. The atmospheres in these two teams are very different, as is the current form, and I honestly think that United will have big problems to win three points in this match. I give Aston Villa the advantage here and I believe they have a very good chance to win at least 1 point here.

曼联继续着糟糕的比赛，在上一轮他们被西汉姆以2-0击败，在那场比赛中，他们似乎对对手的进球毫无威胁。在新一轮比赛中，等待他们的任务也不容易，因为最近表现出色的阿斯顿维拉是他们的客人。自从在12月6日以2比1险胜切尔西后，他们就好像被诅咒了一样，因为他们并没有被提到的胜利所激励，而是出乎意料的状态暴跌，不幸的是，一些不受欢迎的长期记录被打破了。在那之后，他们打了4场比赛，只赢了1分，尤其令人担忧的是，他们在这些比赛中没有进一球。进攻是本赛季的主要问题，他们有18个进球，是积分榜前十球队中进攻最差的。相比之下，只有排名垫底的谢菲尔德联队进球数比他们少。自1992年以来，曼联还没有出现过4场比赛一球未进的情况，这只能说明这支球队目前的状态有多糟糕。这场比赛将在很大的压力下进行，这支球队现在似乎真的没有一个领袖在场上，一个可以唤醒球队其他球员的人。他们也有一些伤病问题，所以海牙被迫将马伊诺和坎布瓦拉等球员列入一线阵容，他们还不到20岁，真的无法应对英超联赛的挑战。

至于阿斯顿维拉，他们正经历着近年来最好的赛季之一。自从埃梅里加盟球队以来，球队的进步是显而易见的，似乎他们现在正处于状态的巅峰。他们目前在积分榜上排名第三，只比第一少1分，很有可能他们以第一名的身份进入这一轮，但他们在主场对谢菲尔德的比赛中只赢了1分。这场比赛只证明了英超联赛是多么的艰难，事实上，赢得一场所有人都认为是胜利的比赛是最难的。尽管如此，维拉人度过了糟糕的一天并不意味着他们的状态会在接下来的几周内继续受到玷污，因为在这场令人惊讶的平局之前，他们以1-0击败了卫冕冠军曼城和目前的领头羊阿森纳，震惊了英格兰大地。他们踢的是非常快的进攻足球，只有曼城比他们进的球更多。除了沃特金斯，他无疑是球队中最危险的球员，在我看来，贝利是一个可以给曼联的防守带来很多问题的球员。他速度很快，控球技术也很好，我相信他会给肖带来很多麻烦，肖的任务是阻止他。他们在11月初经历了最后一场失利，他们与热刺、阿森纳和曼城的比赛表明了他们踢得有多好。这两支球队的气氛非常不同，就像他们目前的状态一样，老实说，我认为曼联要在这场比赛中拿下三分将会遇到很大的困难。我认为阿斯顿维拉在这里有优势，我相信他们有很好的机会在这里赢得至少1分。
