Aston Villa vs Everton Tips

Tip 1

The Belgian has settled in well at B6, netting on his debut and again on Villa’s travels to fellow Midlanders Leicester before the international break.

Most importantly, the 23-year-old looks a lot more comfortable in his more diverse midfield role under Unai Emery, who’s allowing him more freedom and licence to roam forwards.

Onana could come back to haunt his old club on Saturday evening at an extremely attractive price, given how he’s averaging a healthy two shots per game, popping off six across three outings so far – the most of any individual from either team taking to the field this weekend.

Tip 2

A goalless start to the new campaign is plausibly going to see Ollie Watkins cut a frustrated figure until he removes that monkey from his back.

Although the forward is yet to be carded, he has committed three fouls, which includes two at the King Power Stadium at the end of August.

Early season frustrations could get the better of him in this regard, especially if he’s unable to capitalise on the golden opportunity of getting off the mark against a leaky Everton defence who’ve conceded 10 goals in three matches.

Add to that the positive influence understudy Jhon Duran has had from the bench – scoring the winner on two occasions already – as well as the Colombian’s tireless work rate, Watkins must bring his highest pressing intensity to the fore against the Toffees.

Aston Villa Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Six points from nine, including two 2-1 away victories, is a positive start to for Unai Emery’s men, who can capitalise on the visitors’ dire away form to record their first Villa Park win this season.

Sustained absences for Matty Cash, Leon Bailey, Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings means Villa should line up almost completely unchanged from their win at Leicester.

Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Digne; McGinn, Onana, Tielemans, Ramsey; Rogers, Watkins.

Everton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Toffees appeared to be turning a corner after two early second half goals gave them a 2-0 cushion against Bournemouth at Goodison Park. That all unravelled in the space of nine agonising minutes as the Cherries completed a 3-2 comeback, making it three consecutive defeats for Everton.

Nathan Patterson, Youssef Chermiti, Jarrad Branthwaite and Armando Broja remain sidelined, however, Sean Dyche may be keen on a number of changes following Everton’s demoralising defeat to Bournemouth last time out.

Everton Predicted XI: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Iroegbunam, Gueye; Harrison, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin.

Aston Villa vs Everton Head-To-Head Record

Six of the last 10 victories for either side have seen the winning team shut out the opposition completely.
