Aston Villa will target their first league double over Manchester United in 71 years this afternoon.

Unai Emery's side defeated United 2-1 at home in December, just two weeks before Ruben Amorim was relieved of his duties at Old Trafford.

At that point, Villa had opened up a 10-point gap over the Red Devils after 17 matches. However, 13 games later, the Champions League-chasing rivals are separated only by goal difference.
