under 2.5 goals.

villa have to keep this game tight to have any chance of winning. I dont see oneill sending his side out to attack- he will look to pack the defence and hope to sneak a goal at some point, any point, even in extra time.

id expect a 4-5-1 from Villa with the pace out wide and plenty of bodies behind the ball when they lose it. to be fair they have had some success playing that way this year as they done the perfect smash and grab at old trafford only a short while back, 1-0.

Utd are clearly playing very well this season and a treble is very much on. i must say though, and this is a pretty obvious point, they are really missing ronaldo. there is nowhere near the same threat out wide these days and when rooney is marked closely they do struggle.

this is one of those games where 1st goal is the winner, both managers will be thinking that way and ofcourse so will the players. these games often promise so much but when it kicks off defence is the key for the 2 teams and both can often be scared to make a mistake.

i think man utd might sneak this 1-0 but i really wouldnt be surprised if we get to extra time without a goal. villa are one of the top sides in england for defending and utd do play a more negative system these days as sir alex trys to find the formula which will bring that champions league trophy back to old trafford.

should be a very tight game.

unde 2.5 goals with bet 365 at 1.80
