Failing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by West Ham United will have left the Manchester United squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 65% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, West Ham United managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at home.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Sheffield United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 78%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Sheffield United had 5 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Emery will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Ollie Watkins is giving Aston Villa's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
