Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are on the brink of securing Champions League football and a runners-up spot in the league but a trip to Villa Park will not be a walk in the park.

Villa go into the game off the back of an impressive 2-1 win at Everton last time out and Dean Smith's side will be looking to ensure they end the season on a high by finishing in the top 10.

Villa have not beaten the Red Devils in the league at Villa Park in 26 years and will need to be at their best if they are to end that wretched record.

Solskjaer's men recorded a 2-1 win over Villa at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture in January as Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes found the net.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Man Utd

Solskjaer will not want to take his foot off the gas as United build momentum towards their showpiece Europa League final at the end of the season.

Each Red Devils player will be looking to up the ante to prove they deserve a starting spot in Gdansk at the end of the month, which spells bad news for Villa.

Along with Grealish, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been the star of the show this season, but the Argentine will be in for a busy afternoon if United's attacking talent turn up to play.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 0-3 Man Utd (14/1 at bet365)
