Premier League - Match facts: Manchester United v Aston Villa - Yahoo! Eurosport UK

Aston Villa have won just one of their last 34 Premier League games against Manchester United (L24 D9); with this victory coming at Old Trafford in December 2009.

Gabriel Agbonlahor has now scored 60 Premier League goals for Aston Villa – the most, alongside Dwight Yorke (also 60). Agbonlahor was the last Aston Villa player to score a winning goal against Manchester United (1-0 in Dec 2009).

Aston Villa have lost 28 Premier League games against Manchester United – six more defeats than against any other side.

Of sides that Aston Villa have faced more than four times in the Premier League, they have the lowest win percentage against Manchester United (7%).

Manchester United have recovered a league-high 28 points from losing positions this season; three of which came against Aston Villa in their previous meeting this season. They were losing 2-0 before coming back to win 3-2 at Villa Park.

Manchester United need a maximum of six points from their last five games to win the title, but if Man City lose to Spurs on Sunday then a win in this game will secure the crown.

Man Utd last picked up fewer than six points from five Premier League games within a single season in March-April 2005 (DWDLL).

Shinji Kagawa has been involved in five goals (three goals, two assists) in his last seven Premier League appearances.

Man Utd have scored in each of their last 21 Premier League games. The second longest current run this season is five (Aston Villa/Chelsea).
