How to follow Aston Villa vs Manchester United - radio commentary, TV highlights and kick-off time

Manchester United can stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions into double figures when they face Aston Villa this weekend.

Thursday night saw them secure a 1-0 win away at Real Sociedad but it wasn't quite enough to prevent them from finishing second and facing a potentially difficult two-legged tie in February for the right to qualify for the last-16.

This weekend though, attentions turn back towards the Premier League as United look to squeeze into the top four. They travel to face an Aston Villa side who will be led by Unai Emery for the first time since his switch last month from Villarreal. Ahead of the game here is all you need to know.

When and where is Villa vs United?

The match is at Villa Park on Sunday, November 7. Kick-off is at 2pm.

How can I watch it?

Unfortunately, the game is not being screened live. Three of the day's five top flight matches are being televised but this isn't one of them.

Thankfully the Manchester Evening News will be running a dedicated blog live from Villa Park and BBC Radio 5Live will have live commentary. Highlights will be available on Match of the Day 2 at 10.30pm on Sunday on BBC One.

What are the bookies saying?

United are firm favourites to spoil Emery's big day, with thepools.com pricing up an away win at 23/20. Villa are chalked up at 5/2 for a home win.

The draw is also marked up at 5/2.

Early team news

Antony, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial all sat out Thursday's tie due to a combination of injury or illness. All three will be targeting a return but the game could come too soon for them.

Elsewhere, Bruno Fernandes definitely misses out after picking up five bookings so far this season and incurring a one-match ban. Raphael Varane (hamstring) also remains out.
