1874 · ⚠️ Why This Is a Dangerously Good Time for Aston Villa to Play Man United... · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

for Villa to run all over these and win 5-0.

I'm absolutely desperate for it.

I feel like this group of players deserve that.

I know they got the victory in Emery's first game, but I just feel like given what happened at the end of last year, given the overall record that Villa have against Manchester United, I'm absolutely desperate for them to do it this time.

Desperate.

Do you?

Yes.

So just to go back.

So yes, you're right.

So some of their players have gone off to the Africa Cup of Nations and that is Ahmad Diallo, Brian Mbouma, Nusay Mazraoui.

And Ahmad and Mbouma have contributed to 11 goals for Manchester United this season, which is a significant proportion of their overall performance.

So they're missing a lot of creativity there.

You're right, Maguire de Ligt are out.

Yeah.

And what they did on Monday.

So in the build up to Monday emerged, I think Laurie Whitwell in The Athletic was reporting that they had been training and had practiced defending in a 4-3-3.

So for the Monday night football against Bournemouth, they on paper started in their regular formation, which is the 3-4-3, 3-4-2-1, however you want to look at it.

which was Shaw, Heaven and Yoro as the three centre-backs.

But then as the first half developed, you could see that actually Yoro was shuffling over to a right-back position and that meant that Shaw and Heaven were two almost orthodox centre-halves and Dallo was tucking in as a left-back.

Amadialo's position was very high on the right-hand side, almost dangerously like a winger.
