Having come from behind to win at Norwich last Sunday, John Fleck's second-half double against Aston Villa earned the Blades back-to-back top-flight wins for the first time since 2006.Two games before the halfway point of the season, United are four points off a Champions League spot and looking down on Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal in the table.

"Possibly people are changing their opinion on us," said Blades boss Wilder."We're classed as a pragmatic, structured and organised team but I think if you look at our goals that's doing us a bit of a dis-service. Our play was effective and all managers are after that."After an uneventful first half, Fleck finished off a sumptuous move - started by Chris Basham's back-heel before John Lundstram's quality delivery - to give the hosts the lead.

The Scotland midfielder doubled the advantage with a composed finish following David McGoldrick's clever hook before Villa missed a penalty awarded following a video assistant referee (VAR) check for a John Egan handball.However, Jack Grealish's effort cannoned off the bar as Villa sank to a 10th Premier League defeat of the season.

Having lost four consecutive league matches and languishing second from bottom, Aston Villa are in desperate need of something from this match. However, with a chance of Champions League football up for grabs then the visitors will not be taking this match lightly. A notoriously tough nut to crack — both home and away — Chris Wilder's side will, one imagines, prove too difficult an obstacle for the home side to overcome.
