Match Prediction: Everton 2-1 Aston Villa

Everton are coming into this one with a bit of swagger, having bagged wins against Wolves and Brighton. They've shown they can nick goals and keep it tight at the back, which could be crucial against a Villa side that's been struggling to find the net. Villa's recent form's been a bit of a shocker, with no wins in their last three and a real lack of firepower up top. If Everton can keep their heads and exploit Villa's defensive frailties, they might just nick this one.

On the flip side, Villa have got players like Watkins and McGinn who can turn a game on its head. But they'll need to shake off their recent woes and start clicking if they're to get anything from this. Everton's home form's been solid, and with the crowd behind them, they could make it tough for Aston Villa. It's going to be a tight affair, but Everton's momentum might just see them through.

Everton have been on a decent run lately, with back-to-back wins against Wolves and Brighton. They've shown they can score and defend well, which bodes well for this match. The only blip was that loss to Leeds, but they'll be looking to put that behind them and keep the good vibes going. With the home crowd behind them, they should be confident of getting a result against a Villa side that's been struggling.

• Win: 2-0 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Leeds United (A)

Villa have been in a bit of a rut, with no wins in their last three games. They've been leaking goals and struggling to find the back of the net, which is a worry. The draw against Newcastle was a small positive, but they'll need to step it up if they're to get anything from this game. With a few injuries to worry about as well, it's down to the players to turn their form around.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 0-3 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Brentford (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Newcastle United (H)

Historically, it's been pretty even between these two, with Villa edging it slightly in recent meetings. They've won four of the last five, including a convincing 4-0 victory, but Everton have also shown their resilience, earning a 0-0 draw in 2024.

• Pickford, Keane, Tarkowski, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Garner, Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall, Gueye, Ndiaye, Beto 

Everton's predicted lineup suggests they'll look to control the midfield with Gueye and Garner, while Grealish and Ndiaye provide creativity and pace on the flanks.

• Bizot, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, McGinn, Tielemans, Malen, Rogers, Guessand, Watkins

Aston Villa's lineup indicates they'll rely on McGinn and Tielemans to dictate play in midfield, with Watkins and Malen tasked with breaking down Everton's defence.

• Beto vs Ezri Konsa: Beto's physical presence could cause problems for Konsa.

• Jack Grealish vs Matty Cash: Grealish's trickery might give Cash a tough time down the wing.

• James Garner (Everton): His energy and work rate in midfield could be crucial for Everton.

• Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): If anyone's going to turn things around for Villa, it's Watkins with his pace and finishing.
