In the last five rounds of the English Championship, Manchester United only defeated Chelsea (2:1). It was also not without luck that they tied with Liverpool (0-0). The Merseysiders attacked up to 34 times. The Mancunians lost to Newcastle (0-1), Bournemouth (0-3) and West Ham (0-2).
The Red Devils fell to eighth place in the championship standings. British journalist and television presenter Piers Morgan ridiculed Erik ten Hag after the defeat in the match with the Hammers. He mockingly noted that the mentor had broken many records.
In fact, Mancunians are breaking records. They have not scored in four games in a row for the first time since 1992. In addition, Manchester United lost 13 of 26 games this season. Only in the 1930/1931 season did they have more defeats before Christmas (16). Then the club took the last 22nd place in the English Championship standings.
The team’s poor results and slow play are partly due to a large number of injuries. In the match against West Ham, ten Hag was forced to field his sixth and seventh central defenders, Jonny Evans and Willie Kambwala, as everyone else was in hospital.

However, this does not justify the Red Devils players or Ten Hag. In the Champions League, the Dutch coach’s pupils failed miserably. They set a record for English clubs in the number of goals conceded in the group stage of the tournament – 15.
Unlike Manchester United, Aston Villa is on the rise. It is actively progressing under the strict guidance of Unai Emery. The Lions are third in the Premier League standings. The difference with the leader Arsenal is only one point.
In the last seven rounds of the Championship, Birmingham lost points only in meetings with Bournemouth (2:2) and Sheffield United (1:1). They beat Fulham (3-1), Tottenham (2-1), Manchester City (1-0), Arsenal (1-0) and Brentford (2-1). Had the Lions beaten Sheffield United they would have moved up to first place in the league table.
Emery’s team won by a wide margin in all statistical indicators, but almost suffered defeat, failing in the end. They only managed to equalize the score in the 90+7 minute. The Lions’ record winning streak at home in the Premier League, which stood at 15 games, was thus interrupted.
Emery noted in a post-match interview that winning every game is very difficult. The Spanish coach said that he is proud of the work done, of the players and of the Aston Villa fans. The mentor has many reasons to be happy. He put together a simply great team.
The Lions demonstrate a combined game of the highest quality, defeat the leaders and take away medals. They are not only doing well in the English championship, but also in the conference league. Aston Villa seemingly easily qualified for the round of 16 of the tournament, winning the group. You can bet that in the next match he will take three points at bookmakers with odds of 2.65.
Even though the match will take place at Old Trafford, there is much more faith in Birmingham’s victory. In 27 games played in all official competitions this season, they only suffered five defeats and drew four times. During this period, the Lions conceded only 31 goals and scored 59.
Prediction and bets for the matchday 19 of the Premier League Manchester United – Aston Villa on December 26, 2023
Manchester United is not as attractive this season as it was last. Its leaders are in decline and many important players are in the hospital. Sometimes the Red Devils make good runs and launch dangerous counterattacks, but this is of little use. Aston Villa shows much better football and is rightly in the lead. The Lions are unbeaten in seven games in the Premier League and are doing well in European competition. We believe they will beat the Mancunians.
Tender: Aston Villa wins by 2.65.
