Manchester United and Aston Villa will begin the calendar year with a face-to-face confrontation at Old Trafford, in which the Red Devils will try to catch up on points scored with Liverpool.

Compared to the match against Wolverhampton (1: 0), Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer made four changes in the starting lineup of his team: Luke Shaw will play on the left flank, Fred will play in the holding zone, while Scott McTominay will make a pair of central midfielders with.

Aston Villa managed to take points from Chelsea in a recent away match (1: 1), so Dean Smith decided only to return Mings, who was suspended for that game, to the center of defense.

Subs: Henderson, Telles, Tuanzebe, Mata, Lingard, James, Matic van de Beek, Greenwood.
