Man United have a superb record againt Aston Villa and look worthy odds-on shots at 17/20 with BetVictor to further enhance it with an away win at Villa Park today (1.30pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 1).
Villa’s only win in their last 35 league games against United came courtesy of Gabby Agbonlahor’s headed goal at Old Trafford back in December 2009.
In all competitions, United have lost just one of the last 33 meetings (W27, D5) since a 3-0 League Cup away defeat in October 1999.
Their lasy league defeat at Villa Park came on the opening day of the 1995-96 season, and since then they unbeaten in 17 subsequent visits – winning 11 and drawing 6.
Those are compelling stats, and although United come into this having lost their last two league games they were unbeaten in the previous 12 and face a side who are really struggling to score goals and look ripe for the taking.
Wayne Rooney has scored eight goals in his last 10 Barclays Premier League games against Villa, and that makes him looking outstanding value at a standout 5/1 with Ladrbokes in the first goalscorer market.
You can also get a best price of 5/4 with Ladbrokes about him netting anytime, and that simplay has to be snapped up given his record against them.
