Current Standings: Buoyed by recent wins, Everton have climbed into the top half, sitting fifth with six points, while Villa languishes near the bottom at 19th with just a single point.

Head-to-Head Record: Aston Villa have dominated this rivalry, boasting a 27-13 record in 60 clashes.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Everton FC Preview

Coming off a thrilling 3-2 win over Wolves, Everton return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium brimming with confidence. Beto, Iliman Ndiaye, and Dewsbury-Hall found the net, but it was Jack Grealish who stole the show yet again with two assists, making it back-to-back standout displays. 

Credit also goes to Moyes, whose balanced approach lets his stars express themselves. With Grealish in full flow and solid support from Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, and the yet-to-feature Tyler Dribbling, the Toffees look set for more fireworks ahead.

Stats that matter 

1. With the win against the Wolves, the Toffees now have gone unbeaten in six of their last seven games.
2. Everton had a better xG  (1.93) and created more chances despite having had just 41% in their last match.
3. The Toffees have failed to score in each of their last four home games against Aston Villa. 

Team News 

Moyes will likely be without Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko, forcing him to shuffle his backline—either handing youngster Adam Aznou a rare chance or pushing James Garner into an unfamiliar left-back role.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, James Garner (Defenders); Idrissa Gueye, Dewsbury-Hall, Iroegbunam (Midfielders) ; Ndiaye, Grealish, Barry (Forwards) 

Aston Villa FC Preview

Villa’s shaky start to the season continued with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in Matchweek 3, marking their worst performance so far. Yet, there was a small silver lining as the team showed greater willingness to attack through the flanks, something missing in the earlier matches. 

The problem for Emery, however, was the lack of proper personnel to make that approach effective. That’s why the late signings of Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho bring a sense of relief, offering the manager fresh attacking options and much-needed creativity out wide.

Stats that matter 

1. For the first time since the 2017-18 season that Aston Villa have gone without a win from the first three games of the league.
2. Villa are yet to score in the Premier League this season, in fact they are the only team to do so.
3. With an overall xG of 2.53, Villa stands second from bottom when it comes to expected goals. 

Team News 

Besides snapping up Sancho and Elliott, Villa also pulled off a smart deadline move by beating Everton to the signing of Victor Lindelöf, adding steel to their backline. All three new arrivals could feature against the Toffees, though Emery will be sweating on Matty Cash’s fitness after his knock on international duty.

Aston Villa Probable XI - Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne (Defenders); Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, (Midfielders);  Elliott, Guessand, Watkins (Forwards). 

EVERTON FC vs ASTON VILLA FC
Winning Prediction

Given their current form and circumstances, Everton seem better positioned to break that run and come away with something positive. As expected, the odds reflect how tight this clash is, with the hosts being slight favorites at 2.53, Villa close behind at 2.95, and a draw at 3.41—making it too close to call.
