Champions League, 7.45pm, Sky Sports 2, Free £10 bet

This time last year everyone was either really worried or really amused by Manchester United’s complete lack of form, but now there are lots of knowing smiles and people saying: “Chill out, everything is going to turn out fine. Just like last year!”

But what if it doesn’t? The folks at chickendinner believe this is the question United fans will have to ask themselves after they draw with Villarreal…

1. When the two sides met in the Champions League group stage three seasons ago both games finished as goalless draws.

2. Manchester United have won just one of their five matches so far this season, drawing two, and are yet to lose at home.

3. And the Red Devils went unbeaten throughout last season’s competition, a run of 13 games.

4. Villarreal are unbeaten this season and have gone eight games since their last loss.

5. The Spanish side drew four of their six group matches the last time they were in the Champions League.
