Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to rotate his squad, with Fred and Scott McTominay among those in contention to start.

Defender Victor Lindelof missed the win over Wolves because of a back problem and could be absent again.

Aston Villa have Tyrone Mings available after serving a one-match ban.

Ross Barkley is expected to be fit for the first time since he sustained a hamstring injury early in the home defeat against Brighton on 21 November.

Aston Villa have only won three of their 50 Premier League games against Manchester United
Those three victories came in 1992, 1995 and 2009
