Villa haven’t been able to string back to back wins all season in league play and it doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon with matches coming up against Liverpool, Arsenal, and Stoke before the year’s end. Still, Alex McLeish’s side are sitting in 8th place, one spot worse than their ideal realistic finish to the season. Hesky is set to feature in his 500th Premier League match, a feat that only 5 other players can match in history. Captain Stiliyan Petrov returns to action as well with the hopes of aiding his side to a rare win over Man United.
Manchester United in the span of one week has put their Champions League campaign in jeopardy, falling 5 points off the league title chase, and has crashed out of the Carling Cup. By anyone’s account that is a tough week, but especially so for a side as consistent as Man United who are not known for experiencing poor strings of results. Sir Alex didn’t get to where he is today by stressing a couple of matches that didn’t go his way, but even he should be aware that they won’t be able to stroll their way to a title this year like they did last season. It has been two months since Untied scored more than one goal in a Premier League match and with Berbatov and Welbeck not feeling a 100%, it’s time for Rooney to hit one of his patented hot streaks if United are to end 2011 on a high note.
