Man Utd vs Aston Villa: Back our 9/1 Bet Builder tip, plus get £40 in free bets with Paddy Power

THERE'S a late Christmas gift with Manchester United taking on Aston Villa in the Boxing Day evening kick off.

It's a huge game for both clubs in the top four hunt, so SunSport have teamed up with our partners at Paddy Power to select our top Bet Builder picks for the top encounter, which they've boosted to a whopping 9/1!

1

We've gone for: Both teams to score, Aston Villa to win and Moussa Diaby to score anytime.

The normal price for these selections comes in at 8/1 - though Paddy Power have boosted the odds to 9/1!

Like the sound of this? Just add it to your Paddy Power bet slip .

Here's why we've made those selections:

• Both teams to score: Both teams have scored in all but one of Villa's last seven away games, with only Copenhagen and Luton failing to score on trips to Old Trafford in the last ten games that United have faced there. Has also landed in four of the last five times they've faced.
• Aston Villa to win: They go into this one with a huge lead over United in the table and are a formidable side. Nottingham Forest the only team to beat them on their travels in last eight away games but this side are strong and their attacking powers could be too much for this United back line.
• Moussa Diaby to score: Not many goals to his name but an important part of the Villa attack. Pace to burn and can exploit the lack of it in the Man Utd back four, particularly if keeping a high line. Could be key.
