WES BROWN’S PREDICTIONS
The ex-Reds defender reckons that, despite a tricky visit to Newcastle United last time out, Michael Carrick could opt to field an unchanged XI when Villa come to town.
He’s also backing Benjamin Sesko to add a ninth Premier League goal to his tally, continuing his strong form in 2026 so far. Here are Wes’s picks in full:
Starting XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes (c), Cunha; Sesko.
Correct score: United 2 Villa 1
First scorer: Benjamin Sesko
Man of the Match: Matheus Cunha
QUINTON FORTUNE’S PREDICTIONS
Quinton has gone for two changes in his starting XI, with Diogo Dalot and Amad coming in for Noussair Mazraoui and Sesko.
He also believes our captain, Bruno Fernandes, is going to be the star of the show.
Starting XI: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes (c), Cunha; Mbeumo.
Correct score: United 3 Villa 1
First scorer: Bruno Fernandes
Man of the Match: Bruno Fernandes
