Manchester United vs Aston Villa takes place in the English Premier League on Saturday in the early afternoon kick off, and United will be desperate to bounce back right away following their embarrassing loss against Manchester City recently.

The game is scheduled to start at 12.45 p.m. GMT (8.45 a.m. ET) and can be watched online through live stream – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

The mood is starting to turn sour at Old Trafford. The loss against City was expected by many, but the manner of the 0-3 turnover was humiliating, and many have no idea how to explain United's demise from the title winning team just 10 months ago.

Even though many want to support manager David Moyes, the support is starting to waiver slightly and reports have said that a plane will fly a giant banner over the stadium on Saturday during the game proclaiming Moyes as "The Wrong One" – a mock of the banner placed up in Old Trafford throughout this season declaring Moyes as "The Chosen One."

He need a win today, and if he can end the season respectfully domestically and put up a strong fight against Bayern Munich in the Champions League – he may have done enough to maintain the majority of his support at Old Trafford. However, if things keep declining in the English Premier League, and they are humiliated by Bayern, then more supporters are likely to turn before the end of the season.

In team news, Nemanja Vidic is available after suspension, but defenders Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans remain doubtful, as they have hamstring and calf injuries respectively.

In other bad news, Robin van Persie is also still out with his knee injury.

Meanwhile, for Aston Villa midfielder Karim El Ahmadi has a thigh strain since the game at Stoke and he is doubtful.
