Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins wants to inflict a double dose of misery on Manchester United.
Watkins and his Villa colleagues sealed a 3-1 win over Erik ten Hag's side on Sunday - a result that ended United's nine-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. The two sides meet again at Old Trafford on Thursday night, this time in a third-round Carabao Cup clash.
After years of United dominance in head-to-head games between the two clubs, Villa have lost just one of the last four meetings. That was an FA Cup third-round clash last term which United sneaked 1-0.

Watkins admitted: "It is going to be a different game, obviously, them at Old Trafford. It isn’t an easy place to go and, after Sunday, they will be wanting to beat us.
"Hopefully we can repeat our performance and result because we want a good cup run. I know some of the lads got to Wembley in 2020 (League Cup final) against Man City but I haven’t had a cup run since I have been here. I want to win something so hopefully we can go there and get through.
"It was one of our best performances, I think, at Old Trafford in the FA Cup last year but you need a bit of luck as well. If you get the lowest-ranked team it is obviously a bit easier than playing United. Hopefully this year we can go there and win."
