I think Villa will still play for a draw.
but we got one ace..#18... -
One thing, why are the fixtures such that they play duplicate teams twice?
Imagine Liverpool's plight, playing gunners and getting crushed when they play their #1 or #2 team. Damn demoralising, right??
Quite poor planning.
Like for Villa, they would have analysed MUFC's play, and be wary of what's going to happen. Most likely they will do what the jailbirds did, put more men on the goal-line whenever there is a set piece. And denied space.
And you will get 1 point. -
I don't think it was intended cos the league fixtures was arranged long before the cup matches were drawn...Originally posted by iceFatboy:One thing, why are the fixtures such that they play duplicate teams twice?

Man Utd v Aston Villa
Ch 24 - 11:00 pm - (Live)
Manchester United trio Edwin van der Sar, Nemanja Vidic and Paul Scholes are in line to return after sitting out the FA Cup win over Villa.
Henrik Larsson is pushing to retain his place but Louis Saha (groin) could also be in contention.
Aston Villa team news to follow later.
MANCHESTER UNITED and Aston Villa meet for the second time in a week, and the third time this season. Last Sunday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came off the bench and, in characteristic fashion, scored the crucial stoppage time goal that propelled United into the fourth round of the FA Cup, just as Aston Villa fans were pencilling a replay into their diaries.
Now it's back to League business, with the Red Devils chasing an 18th Premiership victory of the season, to - at the least - maintain their six point lead over Chelsea at the top of the table, and possibly increase it to either seven or nine.
Cristiano RONALDO and Louis SAHA are United's joint top scorers with 12 goals apiece.
All 12 of Ronaldo's goals were scored in the Premiership - making him the club's leading marksman in the League. He trails Chelsea's Didier Drogba by one in the race for the Barclays Golden Boot.
ASTON VILLA are next-to-bottom on the Premiership's form table, and are on the longest current winless run in the highest League. They've not won in 10, since the 0-1 win at Everton on 11 November.
Martin O'Neill's side have drawn half of their Premiership matches (11 of 22), and have slipped from third to 13th in less than two months. Another defeat here could see them four places outside the relegation zone.
Villa have not beaten United in the Premiership since winning 3-1 at Villa Park on 19 August 1995. They've not taken maximum points away from Old Trafford since a 1-2 victory on 5 November 1983 when Peter Withe scored both their goals.
Gareth BARRY is Villa's leading scorer with nine goals - eight of which are Premiership goals.
Man Utd : Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Heinze, Ronaldo, Park, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, O'Shea, Richardson, Saha, Giggs, Rooney, Solskjaer, Larsson.
Aston Villa : Thomas Sorensen, Mellberg, Hughes, Cahill, Ridgewell, Bouma, Agbonlahor, McCann, Davis, Osbourne, Barry, Angel, Baros, Samuel, Hendrie, Berger, Stuart Taylor.
