Sheffield United vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa's Premier League title ambitions have taken a huge hit in recent weeks. Unai Emery's side were well in contention in December, but since the draw with the Blades, Villa have won only one of their last four. Defeats to Manchester United and Newcastle have knocked them off the pace of the leader and out of the top four, although they can leapfrog Tottenham back into the Champions League places with a win.

The Blades are winless in their last six Premier League games, but did earn a point on the road in the reverse fixture at Villa Park. Chris Wilder's men were minutes away from a vital win, only to concede at the death to Nicolo Zaniolo's strike. They did earn a point in their last home match against West Ham as Ollie McBurnie fired in a stoppage-time penalty. But, with games running out to save themselves, United could do with three points today.
