Man United vs. Aston Villa: What's the story?

There is simply no downplaying the importance of this weekend's contest.

Only goal difference separates third-placed Man United from fourth-placed Villa, with both sides looking to secure a return to the Champions League for next season.

Man United have been excellent since Michael Carrick's arrival as head coach, but the Red Devils did suffer a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League last time out.

Villa, meanwhile, were beaten 4-1 at home by Chelsea in their last league game, but they recorded a 1-0 victory away to Lille in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 clash on Thursday.

Man United will certainly be the fresher of the two sides, but Villa won the reverse game 2-1 earlier this season and are looking to complete a first league double over the Red Devils since 1954-55.
