Aston Villa vs Man United: Premier League betting tips, odds & predictions

• Aston Villa to extend their winning run to 10 matches in all competitions

• Both teams backed to score in clash between two of the league's best attacks

• Matheus Cunha to impress for Manchester United in the absence of Bryan Mbuemo

Ahead of the blockbuster Premier League clash on Sunday, Ladbrokes shares its top Aston Villa vs Man United betting tips and predictions, with live odds.

Unai Emery's Villans look unbeatable at the moment, winning each of their last nine in all competitions, but their record against Manchester United is frankly terrible, so this game is far from straightforward. United's form is fluctuating, and they could struggle without their AFCON competitors, but high-scoring games and a mini unbeaten run suggests they're here to cause problems.

Below, you'll find Ladbrokes' expert Aston Villa vs Man United bet builder, with Villa backed to win an entertaining affair on Sunday afternoon.

Having scored four goals in each of their last two Premier League matches, Man United's attack seems to finally be clicking into gear under Ruben Amorim, and two goals or more in every one of their last five away games suggests they can cause the Aston Villa defence plenty of problems on Sunday.

That being said, Villa are Europe's in-form team right now, winning their last nine matches across all competitions, and nine goals in their last three Premier League games spells danger for their visitors. Neither Villa or United regularly keep clean sheets either, with the latter managing just one so far this season, so we think there's real value in backing both teams to score in a thrilling encounter at Villa Park.

In their end-to-end 4-4 draw with Bournemouth on Monday night, Matheus Cunha stood out for Manchester United with moments of real quality, and we're predicting that he carries that form into the weekend, testing the Aston Villa goalkeeper with at least one shot on target.

Whether it's Emi Martinez or Marco Bizot in his way, Cunha will be raring to show his class against one of the league's best sides, and with the Brazilian averaging nearly 1.5 shots on target per 90 in the 2025/26 Premier League season, this seems a smart pick. Without the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo, Cunha will have to take the game to Villa and look to carry the threat for Ruben Amorim's side, so expect a shot on target from the former Wolves man.

In the absence of the suspended Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo may well be given a start for Manchester United against Aston Villa - but coming up against one of the Premier League's most formidable midfield trios, the youngster could struggle to really get into the game.

Mainoo hasn't played more than 45 minutes in a single league game this season, so would be in for a tough afternoon if he was to be thrown into the starting lineup, facing the likes of Boubacar Kamara and Youri Tielemans in the middle of the park. A lack of consistent minutes will hamper the 20-year-old, and we think backing him to be shown a card could be a sensible option, with the intensity of the opposition provoking a mistimed tackle or two.

Bringing a close to our Aston Villa vs Man United betting tips and predictions, we're backing Unai Emery's high-flying hosts to continue their remarkable run of form and make it 10 wins on the bounce in all competitions.

Villa have lost just one of their last 32 home matches going back to November 2024, beating the likes of PSG, Arsenal, and Manchester City along the way, so they'll be confident of putting Man United to the sword on Sunday and extending their greatest-ever Premier League run. Victory for Villa would be their first against United since Unai Emery's first game in charge, but with the hosts in such irresistible form, Ladbrokes is predicting that Villa will win for the seventh league match in succession - strengthening their position as an unlikely contender for the Premier League title.
