• Rashford scored the winner for United against Wolves taking them closer to league leaders Liverpool and has now scored seven goals this season. With the Red Devils looking as potential title contenders, Rashford will be trusted to continue his form to keep them in the race, therefore him scoring at odds of 2.50 is one of the best bets of the match.
• Bruno Fernandes got another assist against midweek and now has three assists in his last three games. He is turning out to be one of the best transfers, transforming United into a lethal attacking unit and challenging De Bruyne as the best midfielder in the Premier league. Therefore another safe bet giving you double returns on your investment is on him to get and assist at odds of 2.10.

With an average of almost three shots per game, betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 4.40 gives high returns at minimal risk.
• United have been weak in defence and have kept only four clean sheets which is thirteenth in the league this season. With Villa prolific in front of goal, betting on them to score in both halves at enhanced odds of 4.50 is one of the most popular bets on WilliamHill.
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams are looking as title contenders currently and a streak of good games could see them move ahead league leaders Liverpool. If United win this game they will move level on points with Liverpool, while if Aston Villa win both their games in hand they will be only one point behind the leaders. Hence we expect it to be one of the most intense matches of the week and predict a draw at odds of 4.20 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Cavani started against Wolves and with just three days between the games, it will be tough for a 33 year old Cavani to start back to back games. Hence, if Martial starts the match, betting on him to have over 1 shot on target at odds if 3.00 is a good bet.
