Barclays Premier League: Manchester United vs Aston Villa Odds and Betting Preview

MANCHESTER, UK - Manchester United host Aston Villa this evening in the Barclays Premier League at Old Trafford looking to extend their unbeaten run and stretch their lead at the top of the table. Manchester United are favourites for the match, priced at 1/3 with William Hill. A draw is best priced at 9/2 with Stan James and Aston Villa can be backed at best odds of 9/1 with Victor Chandler.

In the total goals market, over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6 with Stan James and under 2.5 goal is priced at 13/10 with Coral.

Manchester united survived a scare on the South Coast when they came from behind to beat Southampton and the red Devils will be hoping for plainer sailing when they host an Aston Villa side on a roll following the high profile signing of Darren Bent. It was the second time in the week that United had to come from behind having gone 2-0 behind at Blackpool before securing a remarkable 3-2 victory.

Aston Villa meanwhile have found a new lease of life with the signing of Darren Bent securing back-to-back victories in the League for the first time this season against Manchester City and Wigan before beating Blackburn Rovers 3-1 in the FA Cup at the weekend. Those results have pushed Villa further from the danger zone and they now sit 13th, hardly glamorous but they are at least six points off the relegation places.

Dimitar Berbatov, who sat out the trip to Southampton, is the bookies favourite to open the scoring, priced at 7/2 with Skybet. In the same market, Rooney is priced at 7/2 with Blue Square, Hernandez (who got the winner on Saturday) is priced at 7/2 with Betfred, Owen is quoted at top odds of 5/1 with William Hill and Darren Bent is a 9/1 chance with Paddy Power.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 12/1 with Stan James, Manchester United are priced at 5/1 with Boyle Sports to win 2-0 and a 1-0 win for the Red Devils is priced at 7/1 with William Hill. A goalless draw is priced at 20/1 with Coral and a 1-0 win for Aston Villa is priced at 25/1 with Paddy Power.
