They travel to Old Trafford looking for a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions, their best run of form since Houllier took charge in September. - A result for United would see them extend their unbeaten record to an incredible 29 Premier League fixtures dating back to April 2010, matching their best-ever top-flight run set between December 1998 and October 1999. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ‧ Aston Villa have won only once in 28 games against Man Utd. Their 1-0 win at Old Trafford in last season's corresponding fixture was their first against United in 25 matches (all competitions). ‧ In league games only, United have lost just one of their last 30 meetings with Villa (W20, D9, L1). Manchester United ‧ Unbeaten United are four points down on Arsenal's 'invincible' squad of 2003/04. United have 14 wins and nine draws from 23 games, compared with the Gunners' 16 wins and seven draws. ‧ Manchester United have won 11 of their 12 Premier League matches at Old Trafford this season, including the last eight. ‧ Dimitar Berbatov has scored 19 league goals this season - his best-ever return in a Premier League season. Aston Villa ‧ Villa have dropped 14 points from winning positions in the league this season. ‧ As Liverpool manager, Houllier achieved the rare feat of five successive victories over United between 2000 and 2002. Only Arsene Wenger (9) has won more Premier League matches as a manager against Ferguson than Houllier (5). ‧ If selected, goalkeeper Brad Friedel will become the oldest player in the club's history at 39 years and 259 days, two days older than previous record holder Ernie Callaghan when he played against Grimsby Town in April 1947.

M.E.N Prediction: United 2-0 Aston Villa - Villa have perked up a bit but with the main defenders back it should be a comfortable win for the Reds Key opponent: Darren Bent - whether you think he's worth ￡24m or not, he is probably Villa's best chance of a goal Skysports.com prediction: United 2-1 Aston Villa One to Watch: Darren Bent Lawro's predictions United 2-0 Aston Villa Villa have won three in a row now after seeing off Blackburn in the Cup and it was interesting that their fans were chanting Gerard Houllier's name in that game, just a few weeks after calling for him to be sacked. But Manchester United just keep marching on and on. Just as they did at Blackpool last week, they chased the game when they went behind against Southampton in the FA Cup, and their manager Sir Alex Ferguson is able to turn things round by making positive substitutions. United keep getting the job done, which is what they always do. Between January and May they know it is the business end of the season and they are the English team to beat in every competition. http://tinyurl.com/4ldaywn http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/9379942.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/9381927.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3284261,00.html -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ --
