Predicted Lineups
Aston Villa possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Cash, Torres, Lenglet, Moreno; Luiz, Kamara; Diaby, Tielemans, McGinn; Watkins
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Shaw; Mainoo, Casemiro; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Aston Villa manager Emery will welcome Morgan Rogers back to his squad after the winger's ineligibility for the FA Cup loss to Chelsea. Nicolo Zaniolo and Pau Torres have also been given the green light to join the matchday squad after recovering from injuries.
However, Aston Villa will be without Ezri Konsa for three to four weeks due to a knee problem, while Tyrone Mings and Emiliano Buendia remain sidelined with similar issues in the same area. Striker Jhon Duran is on the road to recovery from a serious hamstring concern.
The only potential returnee for Aston Villa is Lucas Digne, who has a chance of making his comeback from a thigh injury this weekend. Emery may consider promoting Diaby, Torres, and Jacob Ramsey to the starting lineup after a disappointing performance on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Manchester United's unfortunate run with injuries continues as centre-back Lisandro Martinez sustained a knee injury against West Ham, ruling him out for at least eight weeks. Martinez joins a list of absentees including Anthony Martial (groin), Tyrell Malacia (knee), and Mason Mount (calf). Additionally, Aaron Wan-Bissaka will miss the trip to Villa Park after exiting Thursday's training session with an unspecified problem.
Raphael Varane is expected to replace Martinez in the Red Devils' defense, but manager Ten Hag is unlikely to make further changes to a winning formula. As Hojlund aims to become the youngest player in Manchester United history to score in five-straight Premier League games, the team prepares for a challenging fixture against Aston Villa.
