  • Manchester United and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves is still two weeks away from a comeback with Gary Neville (calf) and Louis Saha (knee) also ruled out, but John O'Shea (thigh) and Nemanja Vidic (concussion), should be available.



    United are eyeing for a 10th consecutive Premier League victory over Villa. They've kept clean sheets in each of the last five winning league trips to Villa Park.



    Aston Villa midfielder Craig Gardner has shaken off a groin problem, but striker John Carew (knee) is still out.

    Carew has started rehabilitation work after being absent for one month with knee ligament damage.



    Aston Villa (from): Carson, Mellberg, Laursen, Knight, Bouma, Gardner, Reo-Coker, Barry, Young, Moore, Agbonlahor, Taylor, Sorensen, Harewood, Davies, Petrov, Berger, Osbourne, Maloney.



    Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Heaton, Brown, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, Ronaldo, Scholes, O'Shea, Giggs, Fletcher, Tevez, Rooney, Nani, Anderson.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Man Utd



    Expect the unexpected, but Aston Villa are a force to be reckoned with this season. They beat Chelsea at home and their home record speaks for itself. All Aston Villa will need to hope for is one goal - that'll be enough - as their defence will hold back to hang on for three key points. Petrov is the key man in the middle and expect him to pull the strings in midfield, however, Agbonlahor is the big man for the big occassion, and don't be surprised to see him get on the scoresheet.



    Prediction: 1-0 to Aston Villa

    Goalscorer: Gaby Agbonlahor.
