Today’s focus takes us to Old Trafford, where Manchester United host Aston Villa still looking for their second Premier League win of the season. Before that, Brighton host Brentford at the Amex, three days after winning 1-0 in Getafe in the Conference League.

Results

One from two on Saturday, with Newcastle holding Fulham to a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. Both goals came in the last ten minutes, Jacob Murphy putting Newcastle ahead on 80 minutes and Rodrigo Muniz levelling three minutes later, so the goals line finished one short.

• Fulham v Newcastle: Over 2.5 Goals at 1.71 (+6.52%) lost

• Fulham v Newcastle: Newcastle +0.5 Asian Handicap at 1.825 (+2.9%) won

Our last 30 previews have returned 33 winners from 70 positions, with five more returning the stake and 32 losing. A return of -1.85% on the amount staked.

Manchester United v Aston Villa (4:30pm UK)

United sit 17th with seven points from nine games, and their only league win came 5-2 against Ipswich at the end of August. They have lost their last two in the league, 3-0 at home to Bournemouth and 2-0 at Chelsea. Tuesday did bring a lift, with United coming from two down to beat Roma 3-2 in the Champions League, Matheus Cunha scoring twice in the last eight minutes before being sent off. Villa arrive in 10th and on a poor run of their own. They were beaten 3-0 at Bournemouth in the League Cup, drew 1-1 with Fulham and then lost 3-0 in Barcelona on Tuesday. Full-time xG comes in at 1.76 for United against 1.41 for Villa, a combined total of around 3.17.
