Erik ten Hag is living on borrowed time at Manchester United and he could be forced closer to the exit if his side lose away to Aston Villa today.
After a 3-0 battering from Tottenham last weekend it looked like Porto would hammer the final nail in his coffin when they came from 2-0 down to lead United 3-2 on Thursday night.
Harry Maguire salvaged a draw after a second successive red card for skipper Bruno Fernandes but it's still four games without a win for the Red Devils.
Villa had a much better time in Europe as they beat Bayern Munich 1-o on Wednesday in a repeat of the 1982 European Cup Final. They will be confident of piling on United's pain but have a terrible home record against them, winning just one of their last 25 in the league.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United top betting tips
Although Villa's record at home to Man United is terrible, that one victory did come under Unai Emery in his first game at the helm. With the Red Devils looking demoralised under ten Hag, backing the home win looks good at 11/10 with Betano.
With ten Hag's side conceding three times in each of their last two outings, I'm expecting Villa's forwards to get a few sights of goal. Bet365 are offering 11/10 on Manchester United keeper Andre Onana making over 3.5 saves and that looks worth a punt.
The Red Devils have pace out wide so I also like the 11/10 on offer with the same firm for Villa defender Ezri Konsa to make over 1.5 tackles.
Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest top tips
Enzo Maresca wasn't a popular appointment when the took over at Chelsea in the summer but he's winning plenty of fans over by getting a tune out of their expensively assembled squad.
The Blues have won their last five in all competitions so it's no surprise to see them as Betano's 4/9 hot favourites when they host Nottingham Forest today.
Cole Palmer scored four times last time out against Brighton and is playing with supreme confidence. He's a tempting evens at Bet365 for another goal today and the odds are bigger for an assist at 9/4.
Forest have plenty of firepower too and former Blues winger Callum Hudson-Odoi looks good at 5/4 with Bet365 for a shot on target.
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur top betting tips
The best game for armchair fans could come at the Amex Stadium today as Brighton host Tottenham.
It ended in a 4-2 win for the Seagulls when Spurs came calling last term so expect more fireworks with both managers committed to attacking.
Brighton look a bit overpriced for me at 11/5 with Betano, given their opponents are coming off the back of a Thursday night game in Hungary.
But Ange Postecoglou fielded a shadow side for that win over Ferencvaros so most of his key men should still be fresh. Over 3.5 goals only pays 9/10 at Betano but over 1.5 first-half strikes is better at evens with Bet365.
Tottenham usually have plenty of cracks at goal so I like the 6/5 on offer at Bet365 for Brighton goalie Bart Verbruggen to make over 3.5 saves.
Ross County vs Celtic top betting tips
It will be fascinating to see how Celtic react in Dingwall today after their 7-1 Champions League thrashing by Dortmund on Tuesday.
Ross County will be hoping there's a hangover instead of a backlash but the Hoops have been sweeping aside all-comers on domestic duty.
Cameron Carter-Vickers and Greg Taylor will be missing from their usual back four so Celtic could concede for the first time in the Premiership this term.
BTTS pays 20/21 at Betano but if you add over 2.5 goals it boosts the odds a little to 59/50. New Staggies stopper Kacper Lopata looks a bit rough and ready so it could pay to back him for a card at 11/4 with Betfred.
