Aston Villa in the last round of 18 was unexpectedly held by the bottom team Sheffield United with a score of 1-1. This was an unexpected result because everyone thought that Villa would win to create great pressure at the top, even taking the top spot from Arsenal before this club faced Liverpool.

 

But then, temporarily the order on the rankings has not changed when Villa, with 39 points, is temporarily ranked behind Liverpool despite having the same score but losing the difference. 1st place is still Arsenal with 40 points. The gap is only 1 point and Aston Villa needs to overcome difficulties in this terrible period of the Premier League. Their upcoming opponent will be the deeply hurt and somewhat depressed giant, Man United.

 

The Manchester football team is now just the corpse of a “giant”. They are playing quite poorly. Specifically, the Red Devils only won 1/7 of their past matches, in which even “low-ranking” teams like Bournemouth were able to bury them 3 goals without reply.

 

Most recently, MU also lost 0-2 in the match against West Ham. 90 minutes at London Stadium was truly terrible for MU and made their own fans uncomfortable. Even before the match ended, chants calling for Ten Hag’s dismissal appeared, things are now too difficult for the members of the Red Devils.

The strange thing is that, despite spending a lot of money to buy strikers in recent transfer periods, MU plays very poorly in attack. Statistics show that they have only scored 18 goals through 18 rounds and ranked 6th on the list of worst attacking teams in the Premier League this season. Among them, the highly anticipated rookie Rasmus Hojlund has not even had a goal to “open his account” in the Premier League.

 

In general, MU is facing many problems with performance and personnel shortages. Not only that, now they also have to face opponents with good form and mentality like Aston Villa. So it won’t be surprising if Aston Villa causes the Red Devils to receive another defeat this season.
