Ratings are our own 0-99 scale, built only from results data: ATT = 65 + 30 × log2(attack index), DEF = 65 − 30 × log2(defence index) (index 1.00 = competition average), FRM = 30 + 69 × points from the last 5 games ÷ 15, ELO = 60 + (Elo − 1500) ÷ 9, OVR = 30% ATT + 30% DEF + 20% FRM + 20% ELO. Each is capped to 1-99. The Manager style shows the same numbers on a 1-20 scale (rating ÷ 99 × 20). Ratings use only games before kick-off. Educational analysis, not betting advice.

Man Utd (17th, 7 pts from 9) host Aston Villa (10th, 12 pts from 9) in the Premier League table as it stands. Man Utd have scored 10 and conceded 15 in 9 Premier League games (1.1 and 1.7 per game). Aston Villa have scored 10 and conceded 13 in 9 Premier League games (1.1 and 1.4 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Man Utd DLLLW, Aston Villa WWLDL. In the last 5 meetings on record, Man Utd won 3, Aston Villa won 1 and 1 was drawn. The goals model expects about 1.4–1.2. This looks evenly matched: Man Utd 40%, draw 26%, Aston Villa 33%. The single most likely score is 1–1, but even that only has a 13% chance. Elo ratings (Man Utd 1587, Aston Villa 1677) give Man Utd an expected score of 46%, which disagrees with the goals model.
