Unai Emery left the Premier League almost three years ago and although he may have harboured ambitions of a return he probably wouldn’t have predicted Villa Park would’ve been his new home.
But the highly-rated Spaniard made an immediate impact on Sunday with an impressive 3-1 win over Manchester United and he has them in his sights again tonight.
At stake at Old Trafford is a place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Villa last won the competition in 1996 and their two most recent final appearances has seen them denied silverware buy either half of Manchester.
Emery could be considered a bit of a cup specialist with four Europa League titles to his name as well as two Coupe de France medals with PSG so he knows what it takes to go deep in to competitions.
United had been grinding out results until that defeat on Sunday, so perhaps it wasn’t too much of a surprise, but two successive defeats to Villa won’t go down well with the Old Trafford faithful.
Bet365 make the Red Devils 8/13 to win inside the 90 while the visitors are 9/2. You couldn’t rule out a win for a re-energised Villa side and you can get 5/4 on them avoiding defeat (double chance).
Either way it’s a tough one to call so let’s look to Europe for a Super Single tonight.
Our destination is Rotterdam where 3rd in the table Feyenoord host 17th place Cambuur.
The visitors have scored just eight goals this season and failed to score in nine of their twelve matches so far, while Feyenoord have kept four clean sheets in five at De Kuip, conceding just once.
Arne Slot’s men, who have an impeccable record in this fixture recently (P10 W10) are just 1/5 to win against the side who are second bottom of the table. However they’re a very promising 11/10 to win to nil and that’s something the stats more than support.
