Total times read this article : 7

Manchester United saw their recent good form end in miserable fashion as they were beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in the Premier League last weekend.

Unai Emery celebrated his first game in charge with an impressive victory at Villa Park against a team that had gone nine matches unbeaten in all competitions and conceded just once from open play since October 6.

These sides meet again tonight in the EFL Cup, as Erik ten Hag gets his first taste of knockout football in England. It will be their penultimate match before the break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa live updates, highlights

40 mins: First yellow card of the evening, Scott McTominay barging into Ashley Young as the Villa right-back comes forward.

The visitors play the free-kick short, but before they can launch it into the box, the whistle goes for a foul with both Bruno Fernandes and Victor Lindelof on the deck. 

38 mins: Aston Villa look to have got away with one here as Calum Chambers carelessly plays a blind ball across his own goal and Marcus Rashford picks it up 25 metres out. He skips past one challenge, then another, but opts to try to beat another man rather than shoot and runs out of room.

Manchester United quickly regain possession, but Bruno Fernandes is crowded out inside the penalty area.

35 mins: After that decent spell for Aston Villa, normal service looks to have been resumed with Manchester United monopolising both possession and territory, although the visitors look to be showing a bit more on the ball.

31 mins: Aston Villa starting to show a bit more ambition and Scott McTominay needs to be alert to head an inswinging corner from Douglas Luiz out from under his crossbar with Martin Dubravka scrambling. That was heading in!

24 mins: That’s the closest we’ve come so far! Marcus Rashford gets one-v-one with Ashley Young down the left and slips a pass through for the overlapping Tyrell Malacia. The left-back’s cross makes it as far as the fast-arriving Diogo Dalot at the far post, but the Portuguese’s improvised header ends up on the roof of the net via a deflection.

19 mins: Manchester United have the ball in the net…. but the flag is up. Fred plays a defence-splitting pass to Marcus Rashford, who squares for Bruno Fernandes to touch into an empty net, but the Brazilian delayed his pass a fraction too long and Rashford had strayed just offside.

17 mins: Whereas Manchester United are moving the ball at pace, plenty of one-touch football, Villa look like they’re trying to play a more patient style, keeping possession at the back as they look for an opening in the home defence.

12 mins: No clear chances for either side, and no sign of either gaining control of this one just yet. Both knocking the ball around well though.

8 mins: Early opportunity for Martin Dubravka to show what he can do, the Manchester United goalkeeper judging the bounce correctly to collect John McGinn’s long ball with Ollie Watkins lurking.

Slightly less composed from Robin Olsen at the other end, the Villa goalkeeper coming haring out to make a sliding tackle on Bruno Fernandes and concede a corner. From it, Tyrell Malacia smashes into the stands from the angle.

4 mins: The visitors have pressed really high since kick-off – three minutes in and Manchester United have only just got out of their own half for the first time. When they do, however, they nearly take advantage, Callum Chambers tidying up under pressure from Anthony Martial.

KICKOFF: Donny van de Beek gets us under way with two teams who have lifted this trophy five times apiece aiming to reach this season’s last 16.

5 mins to KO: The teams are in the tunnel, with Old Trafford in full voice. This should be a decent cup tie!

15 mins to KO: “Cristiano Ronaldo is ill, so he’s not available,” says Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

“We have to take revenge [for Sunday], it was a poor performance and a poor result. It wasn’t the standards we want to match so we have to take revenge.

“I’m happy Anthony Martial is there. He had a good pre-season but until now it’s been a disappointing season for him. He’s a good fit for how we want to play and hopefully he can stay fit now.

“Dubravka has an opportunity to show what he can do – we believe in him and now it’s his opportunity to show it.

“We want to win every game, and we’ll do everything in our power to win it.”

25 mins to KO: Unai Emery’s Aston Villa reign kicked off with a 3-1 win at home to Manchester United on Sunday, and the Spaniard is keen for more of the same at Old Trafford this evening.

“We are happy but it’s only the start. We’ll improve a lot of things, but winning is better.

“I want to give players an opportunity to show their skills and their capacity. Each of them has the confidence to do it. We know we’re playing a team who are very strong at home, but the challenge for us is to find consistency.

“I want to know [England] again. When I was here three years ago with Arsenal I enjoyed it, and now I want to use again my experiences, to be together with Aston Villa supporters and try to do something important.

“The opportunity is coming in each match. It takes time to improve things but we want to work, we want to be consistent and we want to be competitive. Tonight is a good challenge for us and a good opportunity for us to take the next step.”

35 mins to KO: Harry Maguire makes only his fifth start of the season for Manchester United tonight, although that lack of game time didn’t prevent him being named in England’s World Cup squad this afternoon.

“It’s a very proud day for myself and my family. Representing your country in a World Cup is the pinnacle of my career but I’m fully focused on tonight’s game.

“We had a very disappointing result against Aston Villa on Sunday and it’s about finding our performance and getting into the next round. It’s nice to start the game and get some minutes under my belt, but it’s all about the club and getting into the next round. This club needs to be winning trophies and this is the first one available this season.”

45 mins to KO: Both sides have fielded not far off a full-strength lineup, with Marcus Rashford leading the Manchester United line on the day he was named in England’s World Cup squad, while Luke Shaw is on the bench. 

Martin Dubravka makes his Manchester United debut in goal while Anthony Martial is back after a month out with a calf injury.

For Villa, Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings are up front together while John McGinn comes back into the side, and takes over as captain. 

60 mins to KO: Team news is in!

Manchester United: Dubravka, Dalot, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia, McTominay, Fred, Van de Beek, Fernandes, Rashford, Martial.

Aston Villa: Olsen, Young, Konsa, Chambers, Augustinsson, Ramsey, Kamara, Douglas Luiz, McGinn, Watkins, Ings

1 hr 15 mins before KO: This is the 16th and final tie in this stage of the competition, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham already out while Manchester City, Liverpool and Newcastle are safely into the last 16.

2 hrs before KO: United were beaten 3-1 by these opponents in the Premier League last weekend as Unai Emery enjoyed a superb start to life as Villa boss. “Football teaches you lessons,” Ten Hag wrote in his programme notes. “The players have an opportunity to demonstrate very quickly that they have paid attention to what happened at Villa Park on Sunday.

“I must say that we had put together a good run of form in the games before our Premier League defeat at Villa. But everything we did right in those preceding games — starting properly, winning out battles and earning the right to victory — was absent from our performance at Villa Park.

“At Manchester United, it is an obligation to fight for victory in every game, in every competition, and that is the attitude I want to see from my players.”

2 hrs 30 mins before KO: Here we go, then — the final match at Old Trafford before the World Cup gets underway in Qatar. It’s Manchester United against Aston Villa in the third round of the Carabao Cup, and Erik ten Hag’s first taste of knockout football in England.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa betting odds, prediction

Villa’s 3-1 win last weekend was their first league defeat at Villa Park since 1995, and they have only beaten the Red Devils on two other occasions in all competitions in the past 23 years. However, one of those was a 1-0 league win last September.

In other words, United are expected to recover from last weekend’s setback and progress to the next round but, given Ten Hag will likely make changes and the fact that Villa are suddenly high in confidence, there is little guarantee of a home win.

Prediction: This will be a competitive and probably low-scoring tie. United have been miserly at the back for much of the past few weeks but have not exactly been blowing teams away in attack. We’re going for a 1-0 home win.
