Aston Villa vs. Manchester United: Prediction, date, venue, and how to watch Premier League match

The hottest team in the Premier League returns home in hopes of extending a nine-match winning streak as Aston Villa host Manchester United on Sunday.

Villa are on a run that has seen them leap from the lower half of the table to within three points of the league leaders, with six consecutive victories in the league supplemented by three more in European play.

They now kick off the festive period with a visit from Man United, who have also seen an upturn in results after a rocky start, albeit a much humbler one. The Red Devils are on a four-match league unbeaten run that has boosted them into sixth place, but a shaky defence and overall inconsistency still plague Ruben Amorim's side and have kept them from making greater gains.

Regardless, both sides haven't lost in the league since November and both will be keen to continue their respective runs.

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United: What the managers are saying

Unai Emery, Aston Villa

“Very difficult. Of course, it’s United. And United, not only for (their) history as well, how they are trying to build a team, and they are, this year, of course, trying to get (a) top position.

“They are performing very, very well away (from home), very well. And winning matches and performing and playing fantastic.

“At home, they are having some more problems than away, but I respect them a lot because their history, how they are performing, with the coach, new coach, last year and this year I think they are getting better.

“And with the players they have, they have very, very good players and offensively they are performing fantastic.

“And we are ready, but we are respecting them and we are being humble. Be humble, especially in this moment, we must be humble, to try to understand why we are performing like we are.”

"Everything can happen. I think they have a manager with a lot of experience. You can see when you watch Villa play, you can sense it's a very mature team. Understands, [Unai Emery] doesn't panic when he's losing, he doesn't feel overwhelmed when he's winning, he can control the emotion all the time. I think they are a very strong team, if they are going to fight until the end [for the title]? I don't know. But they are capable of that."

Aston Villa vs. Manchester United prediction

The Villa train is rolling along and it will take a lot to stop it. There's little to suggest that Man United can be the team to end Villa's hot streak despite the Red Devils' own improvements.

Prediction: Aston Villa 3-1 Manchester United
