Manchester United travel to Aston Villa for the first Friday night Premier League fixture in more than 11 years, and what could be the only one on this day of the week this season, due to policing.
Both of these sides picked up 1-0 victories on the opening day of the season – Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur thanks to a Kyle Walker own goal, whilst Villa secured three points at newly-promoted Bournemouth thanks to new signing Rudy Gestede.
United’s title aspirations were aided by Chelsea’s unconvincing 2-2 draw at home to Swansea City last Saturday and Arsenal surprisingly beaten 2-0 at home by West Ham United.
