Match Facts
Manchester United have won 38 of their 56 Premier League games against Aston Villa (D13 L5), the highest win rate of any side to have faced another at least 40 times in the competition (68%).
Aston Villa have won two of their last four Premier League games against Manchester United (D1 L1), as many as they had in their previous 51 against them (D12 L37).
In English league history, Manchester United (53) and Aston Villa (46) are the two sides with the most wins on Boxing Day. The Red Devils also hold the record for most such victories in the top-flight (44) and Premier League (21).
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 19 Boxing Day home games (W16 D3) since a 3-0 loss against Liverpool in 1978-79.
Aston Villa have lost on Boxing Day in the last two Premier League seasons (1-3 v Chelsea in 2021-22, 1-3 v Liverpool last season). They last did so in three consecutive campaigns between 2012-13 and 2014-15.
Manchester United have lost four of their last seven Premier League home games (W3) double the amount they had in their previous 34 at Old Trafford (W25 D7 L2). They’ve conceded 3+ goals in three different Premier League games at home this season, only doing so more often in 2020-21 (4).
In all competitions, Manchester United have lost seven of their last 12 home games (W5). They’ve had three runs of consecutive defeats in that time (including losing their last two), last losing three in a row at home in October 1962 under Matt Busby.
Aston Villa have lost just one of their last six Premier League away games (W3 D2), going down 2-0 at Nottingham Forest in November. However, they’re yet to win consecutive league games on the road this season, while three of their four away wins overall have come in London (v Chelsea, Tottenham and Brentford).
Manchester United have scored just 10 goals at home in the Premier League this season, their joint-fewest after nine games in the competition (also 10 in 2015-16). 40% of these have been scored by Scott McTominay (4), with the Scot the only player to score more than once for the Red Devils at home so far in the league.
Ollie Watkins has been directly involved in eight goals in his nine Premier League away games this season, scoring four and assisting four. All eight of these have either put Aston Villa in the lead (4) or drawn them level (4) in the match.
