Manchester United visit Villa Park to take on Aston Villa in Saturday’s evening kick off, and we have the teams.

With Chelsea not playing until Sunday afternoon, United have the chance to open up a gap at the top of the table. Sir Alex Ferguson has been forced into a change at the back with Jonny Evans missing out, meaning a start for Chris Smalling.

Paul Schole also gets a start with Cleverley dropping to the bench, van Persie and Rooney start up front. Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game:

Aston Villa Team

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Stevens, Westwood, Bannan, Ireland, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke.

Subs: Given, Albrighton, Holman, Delph, El Ahmadi, Bowery, Williams

Man Utd Team

De Gea, Rafael, Evra, Smalling, Ferdinand, Carrick, Scholes, Valencia, Young, Van Persie, Rooney

Subs: Anderson, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Welbeck, Cleverley, Fletcher, Buttner.
