Game: MANCHESTER UNITED vs ASTON VILLA
Type: PREMIER LEAGUE
Date: 5 April, 2009
PREVIEW
With 10 matches to go to decide the winner, the race to the top has been made more interesting after Fulham handed Liverpool a lease line with the shock 2-0 win at Craven Cottage two weeks ago. Despite having a game in hand, the champions now find themselves holding to a slender 1 point advantage over Liverpool, with Chelsea hot on the heels a further 3 points away. Man Utd's ability to persevere is now in question as they host another struggling team, Aston Villa.
The Villans visit to Old Trafford might provide a respite for Sir Alex's team after they suffered a humiliating 0-5 loss to Liverpool previously. That result has made it 8 in a row that Aston Villa has failed to clear the asian handicap. Nevertheless, they have an admirable away record with 10 wins out of 15. This will surely test Man Utd's mettle as Villa themselves will want to get back on track for the coveted 4th spot which they recently surrendered to Arsenal.
KWIK STATS
HOME > MAN UNITED
AWAY > ASTON VILLA
THE PICK
Despite Man Utd's loftier position in the league, ASTON VILLA is capable of getting a result at Old Trafford. Stats are backing them as they have yet to draw away in the league while Man Utd have not drawn in their last 5 matches. Back the visitors at tasty odds.
