Aston Villa welcome Manchester United to Villa Park in the Premier League this evening.

Dean Smith’s side are in desperate need of a result, with four points now separating the Villains from safety.

United come into the fixture in a rich vein of form, with Mason Greenwood starring as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have raced to four successive wins.

Those results have pulled dragged United back into the race for a top-four finish and a victory tonight would leave them just one point adrift of Leicester City.
