Man United duel with Aston Villa and Southampton aim to sink Everton

Manchester United look to continue their fine displays as they travel to Villa Park, but can they still crash the title challenging party? The Red Devils are now 12/1 to win the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Southampton will be trying to get back on track as Everton visit the south coast, and Swansea City head to Hull City.

Aston Villa v Manchester United
The Red Devils are on course for a sensational seventh successive league victory, the first time they have put such an excellent run of form together since 2011.

Louis van Gaal’s men are odds-on at 4/6 to beat hosts Villa and continue climbing the table, with formidable forwards Robin van Persie (4/1 to net first) and Wayne Rooney (9/2 to score last) back on top form.

Club record signing Angel Di Maria could be restored to the starting XI, while Radamel Falcao could also be unleashed to terrorise the Villans’ backline.

Captain Ron Vlaar may be fit enough to start for Villa against former mentor Louis van Gaal, and in attack the speed and power of Gabriel Agbonlahor and Christian Benteke could cause United problems on the break.

Benteke, in particular, could trouble the Red Devils’ shaky rearguard, and is 2/1 to score what would be his second goal since returning from injury anytime. On-loan midfielder Tom Cleverley will, of course, be ineligible against his parent club.

United have had troubles on the road this term, winning just two of their away trips, making the hosts 14/5 to cause an upset and steal a draw.

Southampton v Everton
The Saints and Toffees have been two of the most entertaining teams on show over the past two seasons and, having scored 52 league goals between them so far this term, are 12/5 to split the spoils.
