Aston Villa v Manchester United L I V E !

Aston Villa will face a stern test at home when they play host to Manchester United in a midweek Premier League contest. Both clubs picked up positive results on Saturday.

The Villains are in 7th place of the Premier League log with 41 points from 24 matches. They sit just behind the 6th place Manchester City and 7 points ahead of the 8th place Birmingham City, though both teams have a game in hand on them. On Saturday, the side managed by Martin O’Neill were able to hold out for a 0-0 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. On the injury front, Aston Villa have two confirmed injury absences in Warnock and Reo-Coker.

Manchester United are coming off of a convincing victory over Portsmouth at Old Trafford. The club managed by Sir Alex Ferguson trounced Pompey by a score of 5-0. Ironically, United only scored two goals but Pompey helped out with the other three courtesy of own goals. That result leaves the Red Devils with 56 points from 25 matches which are the product of 18 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. United have one confirmed injury absence for this game in O’Shea, while Owen Hargreaves and Vidic remain doubtful.
