The Midlanders made it nine victories in a row, in all competitions, by coming from behind to beat West Ham United 3-2 last weekend.
Unai Emery's side have powered up to third in the table and a 2-1 home triumph over leaders Arsenal in their last game at Villa Park highlighted their quality.
United are unbeaten on the road, though, since losing to Brentford in September, and will be looking to maintain an overall excellent record against the Villans.
HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW
The contest kicks off at 16:30 GMT on Sunday and is live on Sky Sports in the UK.
