Preview
Wednesday night was an extraordinary evening. Having commentated on Manchester United at Wigan and done the post-match interviews at the DW stadium with a jubilant Roberto Martinez and a frustrated Sir Alex Ferguson, I dashed away to get in front of a TV for Match of the Day just in time to catch the highlights of Manchester City dispatching West Brom.
“I am certain Villa will stay up, but they will not feel safe until they have notched another win”
The contrast was startling. It was like the autumn all over again, when City were scoring goals just to keep themselves from getting bored whilst in comparison United looked flawed and vulnerable.
Surely if anyone can hold their nerve as their last five games are played out it is United? They must still be strong favourites but their big players were all below par at Wigan and they thoroughly deserved to lose. They can allow themselves one more mishap and still win the league - but not two.
So what odds on another pivotal game between United and Aston Villa? Anyone who was there is unlikely to forget the Old Trafford meeting of April 2009 when United were wobbling under intense pressure from Liverpool in the title race, only for Federico Macheda to pop up with a last-minute winner in a 3-2 victory. It inspired Ferguson's side to remain unbeaten for the rest of the run-in and take the title.
That was just one of many United wins over Aston Villa in recent years. In fact Villa's 1-0 success the following season is their only win home or away against United in 30 attempts going back to 1999. Their record is actually every bit as dismal against United as Wigan's was until Wednesday.
I am certain Villa will stay up, but they will not feel safe until they have notched another win. There is no disguising that this has been another poor campaign for a club which is rightly proud of its place in English and European football history. Villa's lowest Premier League points total is 42, they are seven short of that now with six games to play - beating it might be a struggle.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Aston Villa have won only once in 30 games against Manchester United - their 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford in December 2009.
In league games only, United have lost just one of their last 32 meetings with Villa (W22, D9, L1).
Manchester United
The 1-0 defeat at Wigan was only the second time the Red Devils have failed to score in 49 league and cup games this season. The other occasion was the 3-0 loss at Newcastle on 4 January.
If the Red Devils score on Sunday they will break the Premier League record for netting in consecutive home matches. They have scored in each of their last 46 top-flight games at Old Trafford, and share the record Arsenal set from 2001-03.
