Aston Villa looks to complete a season sweep of Manchester United at Villa Park on Saturday while avenging an early-week FA Cup loss to the Red Devils (Watch live at 12:30pm ET on NBC and online via NBCSports.com).
Villa won 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season, though that Premier League match saw both clubs managed by different men.
That day saw Dean Smith’s men triumph over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s hosts when Kortney Hause pushed home an 88th-minute goal on a day United took 28 of the game’s 35 shots.
