Manchester United form

Ralf Rangnick's regime as a Manchester United coach started on a positive note with them going undefeated in their first five games but they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat by Wolves in the premier league. They are currently seventh in the league, much below where they aspire to be. Rumors of unrest in the dressing room are not doing any favors to the red devil's supporters. They would like to bounce back after a shameful defeat in the premier league.

Having won at Old Trafford already this season in September and with Steven Gerrard in charge, they would look to deal a defeating blow to the Manchurian reds.

• Villa have won only twice in their recent 12 meetings with Manchester United in the FA Cup;
• Manchester United have not lost at home in FA Cup since 2014-15 season.
