Everton vs Aston Villa Match Details
Goodison Park will host Sunday’s Premier League action between relegation-threatened Everton and second-place Aston Villa in a Premier League match.
Everton Preview & Form
Everton were penalised this season for breaching the league’s profitability and sustainability rules, which took them to the 19th position in the battle for the relegation zone. However, Everton currently sits 17th in the standings with 16 points, one point above the bottom three, though Luton have a game in hand.
Everton are now without a win in their last five matches, of which they have lost four. The Toffees in the league are on a three-match losing streak. Everton lost 2-1 to Toteham at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, 3-1 to Manchester City at Goodison Park, and 3-0 to Wolves at the Molineux Stadium.
Sean Dyche, when playing at their home stadium, have been poor in form, having lost six of their 10 home matches. Their defences need to put their best together to avoid conceding goals in this match, as Everton have conceded two goals or more in each of their last three Premier League matches.
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa are having impressive performances this season in the league, as they sit currently in second place, and a victory will get them to 45 points, putting them level on points with the current leader, Liverpool.
Unai Emery has led his team to 13 wins from 20 league matches, including victories over Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
The Villains last away match ended in a loss as the Red Devils pulled off a boxing day cracker comeback at Old Trafford, as Aston Villa saw their first half 2-0 lead blown as the game ended in 3-2.
Aston Villa struggled in their Premier League last match, which was a hard-fought 3-2 win over Burnley at home as Douglas Luiz’s last-gasp penalty took them over the finish line.
Unai Emery’s attackers have been excellent in terms of scoring goals, as they have scored in eight of their 10 away matches. Aston Villa have also scored two goals or more in each of their last four away matches.
Everton vs Aston Villa Betting Tips
Aston Villa has been dominant in their last six encounters between the two teams, with the Villains winning five and Everton winning once. We believe the game will end with high numbers of goals, as both sides have been impressive in terms of scoring, and Aston Villa will be looking to get three points in the game as they anticipate closing the gap with Liverpool.
