Aston Villa and Manchester United lock horns in the Premier League this afternoon as they meet at Villa Park.

United came from 2-0 down to beat Villa 3-2 at Old Trafford in December and will be looking for another win today.

Villa go with Emiliano Martinez in goal with Diego Carlos and Clement Lenglet as the centre back pairing ahead of him.

Matty Cash and Alex Moreno are the full backs today with John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Douglas Luiz and Jacob Ramsey lining up as the midfield four.

Leon Bailey is given the nod to support Ollie Watkins in attack, meaning Moussa Diaby is only on the bench this afternoon.

New signing Morgan Rogers joins Diaby on the bench, alongside Robin Olsen, Youri Tielemans, Lucas Digne, Pau Torres, Nicolo Zaniolo, Kaine Kesler-Hayden and Tim Ireogbunam.

Manchester United go with Andre Onana between the sticks with Harry Maguire partnering Raphael Varane in the heart of defence.

Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw line up as the full backs for United with Casemiro partnering Kobbie Mainoo in midfield.

Bruno Fernandes will play as the number 10 with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford flanking Rasmus Hojlund in attack.

That means Antony only makes the bench, joining Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof, Amad Diallo, Sofyan Amrabat, Christian Eriksen, Omari Forson and Scott McTominay.
