Aston Villa v Manchester United Betting Tips Preview

Aston Villa v Manchester United – Live on BBC 1, k/o 17:15pm

Aston Villa are looking to progress into the fourth round for only the second time in six years. They have won their last two, after five without a win. The last time Villa beat Man Utd was in 1957 when they went on to lift the trophy. However Villa Park is like a second home to Man Utd with ten successive victories, six in the league and four in the cup, including an impressive 4-1 win this season. Man Utd also go into the game on a good run of form with seven victories and one loss in their last eight. If Villa wins it will be the first time Sir Alex Ferguson has lost in the third round after 21 years.

Recent history suggests only one result in this and that’s a victory for United as they’ve won the last 12 matches between the pair and have dumped Villa out of the FA Cup at exactly this stage in no fewer than three of the previous six years.
