Finally back: Aston Villa Preview | Bet MUFC (EP. 232)

Manchester United’s failure to progress in the cups and their lack of European football mean they’ve been stewing on their 2-1 defeat at Newcastle for 11 days. This is a clear rust vs rest situation, as Aston Villa were in France on Thursday night for their Europa League tie with Lille.The Villans were 1-0 winners in that first-leg, but that left them with little turnaround time for a key clash with one of their main rivals in the quest for Champions League football. The Red Devils have had plenty of time to prepare for this one, and their empty midweeks could be a major advantage in the run-in.
