Villa Form & Balance Check
Aston Villa have had a mixed record since the new year. There have been two wins, two draws and two defeats from the last six games. During the week, the team lost 3-1 to Chelsea and thus had to bow out of the FA Cup. Following their latest win in the league, coach Unai Emery’s team are now fourth in the table on 46 points and have managed to overtake Spurs. In theory, Villa are still in the championship race, as the top of the table is only five points away. However, a home win against Man United would be needed to keep their title dreams alive.
Phenomenal start
In their last league game, Aston Villa were finally able to put an end to their short run of three games without a win. The team started the game against Sheffield Wednesday in a frenzy and decided the game within the first half hour. Within 18 minutes, Villa scored four goals to dismantle the Sheffield defense in furious fashion. Shortly after the restart, Villa scored again to make it 5-0, but then switched to administration mode for the rest of the second half

Man United Form & Balance Check
Manchester United are currently in great form. The team has yet to lose in 2024 and has picked up a strong four wins from five competitive matches. In the league, they recently recorded two clear wins against West Ham and Wolverhampton. The Red Devils are currently on 38 points and in sixth place. Fifth place, and thus the final international qualification spot, is only six points away. Coach Erik ten Hag has managed to get his team back on the road to success after a somewhat disastrous first half of the season and Man United actually seem to be able to attack again in the league
Martinez out for longer
Man United had to swallow some bitter news after their 3-0 win over West Ham. Lisandro Martinez had to be substituted due to injury after a duel with West Ham player Vladimir Coufal and will probably miss the Red Devils for a longer period of time. For Martinez personally, the injury is another major setback, having only celebrated his comeback four games ago after a break of over three months. For coach ten Hag, this means he will have to reshuffle his defensive line again
