Fernandes bursts down the right wing to get on the end of a long pass out of the defence and whips a cross into the box.

Fernandes has the ball on the right flank and loops a pass over the top of the Villa defence. Rashford is in an offside position, so leaves it for Eriksen. However, Young gets across to block the United man, who pulls the defender back and gives away a free-kick just inside the box.

WIDE! The flag goes up but Rashford will be disappointed that he did not put the ball into the back of the net. Sabitzer has possession inside Villa's half and slides a through-ball between Mings and Konsa, with Rashford running through the middle.

Villa have been one of the best teams in the Premier League since Unai Emery replaced Steven Gerrard as head coach in October. The former Villarreal boss has helped the club move from 16th to sixth, beating United in his first match in charge. They are also in good form and are unbeaten in their last 10 games, winning eight and drawing two. On course to qualify for the Europa League for the first time since the 2010-11 season, where they got knocked out in the play-off round by Rapid Vienna, Villa still have a chance of moving further up the league and into the last Champions League spot. They are just six points behind United but have played two games more than today's opponents.

United are in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League and start the day six points ahead of fourth-placed Tottenham, playing two games less than the north London outfit. However, they would have stretched their advantage over Ryan Mason’s side to nine points if they held onto their two-goal lead against them in their previous game, succumbing to a 2-2 draw. The Red Devils had won their last three and will overtake Newcastle United if they beat Villa and the Magpies lose to Southampton. United have won 11 of their 15 games at Old Trafford in the Premier League this season, with their only defeat coming against Brighton and Hove Albion on the opening day.
