Monday's result was a harsh one for Gerrard's men, with Villa having twice had the ball in the United net. Both were ruled out by VAR in a matter of minutes, with the first an extremely contentious decision.
Villa will likely have the bit between their teeth as they look to right that perceived wrong. Their loan signing Philippe Coutinho completed his move from Barcelona in midweek and starts today's game back in the EPL on the bench. But their new man from Everton, Lucas Digne, does go straight into the starting eleven, with Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings starting upfront and desperate not to go a second-straight game without scoring.
In addition to CR7, Marcus Rashford is another notable absence from United's starting line-up. Despite being passed fit, club captain Harry Maguire starts on the bench with Victor Lindelöf preferred. And it's been left to to Edinson Cavani to lead the attack, with Bruno Fernandes just behind.
