Aston Villa put their Premier League title challenge to the test as they host Manchester United.

Morgan Rogers has been their star man and scored twice in the 3-2 comeback win at West Ham.

Ruben Amorim’s side were involved in a 4-4 thriller with Bournemouth on Monday night.

And the United manager criticised a feeling of “entitlement” at the club in what has been a dramatic week.

When is Aston Villa vs Manchester United?

The Premier League fixture will kick off at 4:30pm on Sunday 21 December at Villa Park.

Team news

Villa have made just one change from the side that beat West Ham last time out. It comes in goal, where Emi Martinez returns in place of Marco Bizot.

Former United defender Victor Lindelof partners Ezri Konsa in defence, with Matty Cash and Ian Maatsen as full-backs, while the usual attacking line of McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers and Watkins starts once more.

The big news for United is that Kobbie Mainoo misses out, with the England international not in the squad at all, with early reports suggesting he has picked up a small injury yesterday.

Overall, there are three changes to the side that drew with Bournemouth, with all three enforced due to Afcon and suspensions. Patrick Dorgu comes into defence in place of Amad, while Bryan Mbeumo makes way for Benjamin Sesko and the suspended Casemiro is replaced by Manuel Ugarte.
