The televised Premier League clash at Old Trafford is likely to be overshadowed by events off the pitch - or rather in the air to be more precise - as a section of the club's supporters look set to call for the under-fire Scot to be removed.
The comprehensive manner in which United have slumped to back-to-back 3-0 home defeats against bitter rivals Liverpool and Manchester City in the last fortnight has sparked much debate about Moyes' future.
And the ex-Everton boss could be in for an uncomfortable afternoon against Villa as a plane brandishing the message 'Wrong One - Moyes Out', a reference to 'The Chosen One' banner at OId Trafford, will be flown over the stadium after being funded by a group of angry fans.
"We've got two big games coming up against Bayern Munich, but first we have to focus on the Villa game and try to end the season on a positive note," said the striker, who scored a spectacular long-range strike in the 2-0 success at West Ham last weekend.
And while the 1-0 win over leaders Chelsea earlier this month and 2-2 draw at Liverpool in January shows that Paul Lambert's men are capable of more than holding their own in big games, Villa were ruthlessly beaten 4-1 by Stoke City last weekend to ground the club's players.
"If we can go to Old Trafford, put in a performance and get a result, everyone will forget about Sunday," he said.
