Welcome the Evening Standard’s live coverage of Manchester United’s Premier League match with Aston Villa.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side currently sit in eleventh, nine points adrift of the Champions League places - but a shock defeat for Chelsea against West Ham means United can cut the gap to six points.
United traditionally enjoy this fixture, having lost just once in 24 Premier League meetings with the Villa.
But Dean Smith’s side were impressive in their last match, defeating Newcastle 2-0 at Villa Park, and were unfortunate not to inflict a first defeat on Liverpool the weekend before.
James Robson is at Old Trafford this afternoon, and you can follow the match live on Standard Sport. Kick-off is at 4.30pm.
