The best sports on the telebox this weekend

If Aston Villa manage a victory at Old Trafford, something they have not done since 1983, it will not only make the title race a lot more exciting but it will be highly lucrative. Bet365 are offering an incredible 11/1 on Villa taking all three points - the kind of odds you have to take advantage of in a two horse race.

Not convinced? Let the devilishly handsome chaps at chickendinner persuade you:

» chickendinner Da Vinci Code insight: Manchester United have been recently beaten in their 32nd league game by teams they were supposed to beat - last season 2-1 away at Portsmouth, and in 2005 they lost 2-0 against Norwich.

» Aston Villa have taken points off all the other ‘big four’ clubs already this season - beating Chelsea 2-0 at home and drawing 4-4 at Stamford Bridge, drawing 2-2 at Anfield, and a 1-1 draw at the Emirates.

Get right on it!
