The Red Devils have had a strong start to the new season and appear to be ready to compete for the crown. They've gained a lot of momentum and are anticipated to be favorites this weekend against Aston Villa, who have been inconsistent.
So far, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team has scored the most goals in the competition, and Cristiano Ronaldo's inclusion has only added to their frontline's sharpness.
The striker has already scored three goals in the league and will be looking to add to his collection of Premier League Golden Boots.
The team has won all of their games so far – with the exception of a draw against Southampton – and is currently in third place in the table, with the same number of points as Southampton.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is up against reigning champions Manchester City (who are in fifth place), and one of these two is bound to lose.
This is a fantastic opportunity for the Devils to solidify their position atop the standings. They have a tremendous head-to-head record against Aston Villa, and Villa have been awful on the road for a long time.
Manchester United is expected to win again on Saturday at Old Trafford, based on the current situation.
Solskjaer's team had won their most recent match, a 1-3 victory.
They have won 13 of their previous 15 meetings.
In 10 of the previous 13 meetings, they had scored two or more goals.
Aston Villa versus Manchester United Prediction
The Devils had defeated West Ham 1-2 on the road the previous matchday. Meanwhile, Aston Villa had defeated Everton 3-0 at home.
Furthermore, United has only lost once this season, and it was in the Champions League, in a game in which they were down to ten men (red card).
For the past few months, they've been in fantastic form at home. In reality, they've only lost twice in the last eight months, and both of those losses came against Liverpool and Leicester.
