Manager Ten Hag could make a raft of changes to the starting XI that was beaten at London Stadium on Saturday after another limp performance in attack.

Marcus Rashford could return after appearing as a substitute against the Hammers, while Christian Eriksen is an option in midfield after earning his first minutes since before the November international break.

Teenage centre-back Willy Kambwala started at West Ham and could be picked again with fitness issues affecting Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane.

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Aston Villa

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Kambwala, Evans, Shaw; McTominay, Mainoo; Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.

Unai Emery will have to deal with suspensions for Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara for Tuesday's trip to Old Trafford.

The Spanish manager is also without Emiliano Buendia, Tyrone Mings, Bertrand Traore, Robin Olsen and Pau Torres, while Youri Tielemans could shake off a fitness issue to feature in the squad against Sheffield United.

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Manchester United

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-2-2-2): Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Digne; Luiz, McGinn; Bailey, Ramsey; Diaby, Watkins.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa score prediction

Now down in eighth, Man Utd simply cannot shake off their persistent issues to build up a consistent run of form to take them up the table.

Aston Villa have showed a combined goal threat and nous in defence, though there would have been disappointment with their draw last time out as they failed to claim top spot in the Premier League table.

The Villans' industrious style of play could make this Boxing Day encounter a real nightmare for a goal-shy Man Utd, who have lost four league games at Old Trafford already this season.

Prediction: Manchester United 0-2 Aston Villa

Every mistake Tottenham & Daniel Levy have made since 2019

Image
For much of Daniel Levy's tenure as Tottenham chairman, he oversaw a lot of undeniable and tangible progress. Spurs were mid-table fodder when ENIC took control of the club in 2001. Since then, they've elevated the club to consistent European contenders (despite a lack of silverware) and have invested in state-of-the-art facilities. But when they viewed the time had come to turn from nearly-men to winners, they took the club backwards again. And again. And again. Here are Levy and the Spurs board's greatest blunders since their peak of reaching the 2019 UEFA Champions League final. 1. Too little, too late in the transfer market Ndombele even scored a worldie on his debut / Marc Atkins/GettyImages This one's a bit of a prelude to this whole debacle, but it still runs true. From 2018 to 2019, Tottenham went nearly 18 months without making a signing. Not one. Zilch. Nada. The board bemoaned that conducting transfer activity was hard. Spurs spent the 2018/19 season running ...

Top scorers on the final day of Premier League seasons

Image
The final day of an invariably long, hard league campaign can be the setting for season-defining matches. However, more often than not, everything of relevance has already been final ised for both clubs involved, giving many of the simultaneous set of matches the care-free recklessness of the last day of primary school. It's no surprise that the final round of matches invariably produces more goals than the average across the preceding nine months of each season . Here are the players, with their favourite toy stuffed into their backpacks, that have taken advantage at the end of each season . 10. Teddy Sheringham - 7 11 years separated Teddy Sheringham's first and last final-day goals in the Premier League / Phil Cole/GettyImages Never blessed with burning pace, timing always underpinned Teddy Sheringham's superb career. By the summer of 2004, aged 38, what little speed Sheringham ever had was long gone - yet, that didn't stop the veteran from coming off the bench to s...

Liverpool handed boost after Barcelona rule managerial target out of race to succeed Xavi

Image
Barcelona sporting director Deco has questioned the credentials of Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim and effectively ruled him out of the race to replace Xavi this summer. Xavi will stand down from his role as Barca's head coach at the end of the 2023/24 season and there has been plenty of speculation over who his successor will be. Like Barcelona, Liverpool are also on the hunt for a new manager with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club at the end of the season. Both have been linked with 39-year-old Amorim, who has done a stellar job at Sporting since his appointment in 2020, notably leading them to their first Portuguese title in 19 years during his first full season. Xavi's time at Barcelona is nearing an end / Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/GettyImages The Daily Mail recently reported that Amorim will be considered by Liverpool as a Klopp successor. However, he looks unlikely to be in the thoughts of those at Barcelona. During a recent trip to his native Portugal, Deco fielded questi...
