Man U v Aston Villa Preview, Odds and Betting
28th March, 2008
Man U v Aston Villa – Setanta Sports 1: 5:15pm
Things went well for Manchester United last Sunday, with United outclassing fierce rivals Liverpool 3-0 and with Arsenal losing to Chelsea, United have one hand on the title. With seven games to go, United are five points clear at the top of the table and the title is now theirs to throw away. While Arsenal seem to be out of the running after their defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Chelsea look like they’ll continue to grind out results and push United to the wire. The two teams meet at the Bridge in April in what looks set to be the crunch fixture, although United’s matches at home to Arsenal and their bogey team, West Ham, could also be potential banana skins. You’d expect this game against Aston Villa to be a straightforward one for Fergie’s men though. Martin O’Neill’s team are winless in their last four outings and haven’t enjoyed a Premier League victory over United since August 1995. And their 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland last week suggested that the players are more focused on their summer holidays then ending the season with a flourish.
With United at home, bookies have priced them as favourites for this match, with VC Bet offering 1/3 on a home win, while Villa have been priced at 8/1with Better Bet to get something at Old Trafford according to our odds comparison site.
