Manchester United clash with Aston Villa for the second time in five days when the two sides meet in the EFL cup at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
The Reds lost 3-1 to Villa in the Premier League at the weekend, so Erik ten Hag's men will be looking to take revenge and progress to the next round of the cup at the Midlands club's expense.
United exited the competition at the third round stage last season after losing 1-0 at home to West Ham United. The fixture on Thursday night is likely to see Ten Hag make a number of changes to his side as the Reds prepare for their final domestic game against Fulham on Sunday before the season pauses for the World Cup.
