The Villans welcome David Moyes’ stuttering Everton side in front of the Sky Sports cameras in this Sunday afternoon fixture, as the hosts look to close the six-point gap between themselves and top-of-the-table Arsenal. However, the Toffees are known to be quite the frustrating side at times, boasting an away record not too dissimilar from their home.

Key Players to Watch: Aston Villa vs Everton

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa): Rogers has evolved into a vital creative hub for Emery’s side this season. Operating effectively as a 10 or a powerful ball-carrier from deep, he is currently one of the most efficient finishers in the league, often scoring high-quality goals from limited chances. Against a compact Everton defence, his ability to drive forward and create space for Watkins will be the game's decisive factor.

Jack Grealish (Everton): With Ndiaye away at AFCON, the creative burden shifts heavily to Grealish, who is set for an emotional return to Villa Park. Having joined Everton on loan to revitalise his career, he has become their primary outlet. His ability to win fouls in dangerous areas and his vision in the final third will be Everton’s best chance of breaching a high Villa defensive line.
