SHEFFIELD UNITED-ASTON VILLA


This will not be for the faint of heart,with two managers like Neil Warnock and Martin O'Neill in charge, you can be sure that both teams will be busting a gut for the three points.

United have battled their way out of the drop zone and will be looking to put some distance between theirselves and the bottom 3. They have snatched very late winners in their last two starts and will fight for the full 90 minutes.

However, they meet a Villa team that are very difficult to beat, with just two losses in 16 starts, the same number as Chelsea ! They have far fewer wins of course and have been the Premierships draw specialists with 9 stalemates.

The Midlanders will be without their suspended skipper Gareth Barry, but seem set to welcome back Chris Sutton to the starting eleven.

With a very difficult run of fixtures in the next month, they meet Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United twice, they have to target the win tonight.

O'Neill is expected to be given big money to spend in the transfer window and this allied to 3 points against United, which will take them up to 5th spot, will be used as a launching pad for a major European challenge.

Going to side with Villa, who are the classier outfit and really like the level ball option.

4 points Aston Villa level ball asian line 1.97.

Back Later.

Good Luck.
