Player Focus

The clash between Man United and Aston Villa on Boxing Day, according to football bet predictions, will be decided by the side that will be clinical and control the game. Therefore, the midfield area will be pivotal, whereas the strikers will play a significant role in deciding the match at Old Trafford. 

• McTominay – Manchester United have had an indifferent season so far. Erik Ten Hag’s side has not shown consistency. However, McTominay has stepped to the fore and been influential for the Red Devils. His six goals and one assist in 19 appearances underscore his importance to the team. He will be central to United’s gameplan on Tuesday.
• Ollie Watkins – Ollie Watkins has been a revelation for Unai Emery’s side. He has scored 14 times and had six assists in 24 appearances for Aston Villa. The striker’s movement, pressing, positioning, and fluidity in the final third will be a handful for the Manchester United defense.

Aston Villa are likely to adopt a medium press approach while leveraging pace down the wide areas and through the middle to create chances.
