Norwich’s Dean Smith has already beaten Manchester United once in the Premier League this season, winning 1-0 with Aston Villa in September. He could become the first manager since Andy Aitken in 1908-09 to beat Man Utd with two different clubs within the same top-flight season - Aitken won 5-0 with Middlesbrough and 3-2 with Leicester that season.

Steven Gerrard makes his return to Anfield, but this time as Aston Villa’s manager. :star_struck:

After an exemplary managerial record at Rangers, Gerrard now takes his Villa side to Anfield this afternoon after 3/4 wins since taking charge.

All the best to Gerrard at Anfield! :+1: What’s your score prediction for this one?
