Game 16 Preview - Manchester United vs Aston Villa (Dec 12, 2009)

Manchester United have been boosted by the return of Nemanja Vidic to the side, enabling them to name at least two fit defenders in the starting XI for the clash against Aston Villa. Villa are currently in 5th place, vying for a place in the top four while Manchester United know that nothing other than 3 points would suffice.

Michael Owen, who scored his first hat trick for the club in midweek, will be hoping to start alongside either Rooney or Berbatov, both of whom are getting back from injuries. Villa have striker Davies out with a shoulder injury, while Ricardo Gardner is a doubt.

Considering United's impressive record against Aston Villa, I am going for a 3-1 home win.
