AVL vs MUN Dream11: Second-placed Man Utd return to domestic action following their Europa League semi-final second leg away at Roma this past Thursday night looking to maintain their incredible record of having not lost in their last 24 away Premier League fixtures.

However, Villa Park has not proven a happy home ground in the main for Dean Smith side recently, with just one win from their last six home Premier League matches. When taking into account the collective strength in depth of the Man Utd squad alongside their excellent record away from home in the Premier League.
