Manchester United saw their recent good form end in miserable fashion as they were beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in the Premier League last weekend.
Unai Emery celebrated his first game in charge with an impressive victory at Villa Park against a team that had gone nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and conceded just once from open play since October 6.
These sides meet again tonight in the EFL Cup, as Erik ten Hag gets his first taste of knockout football in England. It will be their penultimate match before the break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

2 hrs before KO: United were beaten 3-1 by these opponents in the Premier League last weekend as Unai Emery enjoyed a superb start to life as Villa boss. “Football teaches you lessons,” Ten Hag wrote in his programme notes. “The players have an opportunity to demonstrate very quickly that they have paid attention to what happened at Villa Park on Sunday.
“I must say that we had put together a good run of form in the games before our Premier League defeat at Villa. But everything we did right in those preceding games — starting properly, winning out battles and earning the right to victory — was absent from our performance at Villa Park.
“At Manchester United, it is an obligation to fight for victory in every game, in every competition, and that is the attitude I want to see from my players.”

Manchester United vs Aston Villa lineups
Ten Hag is expected to make some changes to his side before the league game at Fulham on Sunday, although he insisted this week he would field a strong side. There could be a debut in goal for Martin Dubravka, while youngsters such as Alejandro Garnacho, Shola Shoretire, Anthony Elanga and Zidane Iqbal could feature.
Anthony Martial will hope to play after returning from injury as a substitute at Villa Park, and Jadon Sancho could be available depending on how training goes this week. Diogo Dalot will likely keep his place as he is suspended for the Fulham trip.
Manchester United predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Dubravka (GK) — Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia — McTominay, Fred — Garnacho, Fernandes, Elanga — Martial
Emery could also choose to mix up his side. Leander Dendoncker and Jan Bednarek are cup-tied, but Ashley Young might be given a start against his old club.
Aston Villa predicted lineup (4-4-2): Martinez (GK) — Young, Mings, Chambers, Cash — Buendia, McGinn, Kamara, Ramsey — Ings, Watkins

Manchester United vs Aston Villa betting odds, prediction
Villa’s 3-1 win last weekend was their first league defeat at Villa Park since 1995, and they have only beaten the Red Devils on two other occasions in all competitions in the past 23 years. However, one of those was a 1-0 league win last September.
In other words, United are expected to recover from last weekend’s setback and progress to the next round but, given Ten Hag will likely make changes and the fact that Villa are suddenly high in confidence, there is little guarantee of a home win.
Prediction: This will be a competitive and probably low-scoring tie. United have been miserly at the back for much of the past few weeks but have not exactly been blowing teams away in attack. We’re going for a 1-0 home win.
