da bet7: Aston Villa winger Anwar El Ghazi and Manchester United full-back Brandon Williams could have an intriguing battle on Sunday.
On the chalkboard
Aston Villa ended a run of three consecutive losses when they defeated Newcastle United 2-0 on Monday evening.
El Ghazi played an important role in that win, as he got on the end of Conor Hourihane’s whipped free-kick to get the ball past Martin Dubravka for Villa’s second of the night.
He also made two key passes, one dribble, one tackle and completed 87% of his attempted passes.
Following that game, Jack Grealish was quoted on Villa’s official Twitter account as saying: “Anwar’s probably been the best I’ve seen him training in the last 10 days, that’s probably why he got the start and he proved [he deserved] it.”
After a showing like that, he should be feeling confident going into the game against United.

Upward trajectories
He will be coming up against another player who is doing well, with Williams having started United’s last two Premier League matches. Prior to those games the teenager had never started a league fixture for the club.
In addition to that, he even scored the goal that started the Red Devils’ comeback against Sheffield United with a marvellous half-volley.
With both of these players coming into their own during their debut Premier League campaigns, this could be an integral battle in deciding who wins the game.
The below statistics offer an indication of how close their battle could be during the game:
Therefore, while these are not necessarily the biggest names in their respective teams, this could be the most intriguing battle on the pitch on Sunday.
