Everton vs Aston Villa Predicted Lineups

Everton Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford; Vitaliy Mykolenko, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Jake O’Brien; Idrissa Gueye, James Garner; Jack Grealish, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye; Beto.

Due to availability and form, David Moyes could very well go for a similar lineup to the side which faced Wolves prior to the break. The Toffees will be without Adam Aznou, Jarrod Branthwaite, and Nathan Patterson for the visit of Villa.

Aston Villa Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Marco Bizot; Lucas Digne, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash; John McGinn, Youri Tielemans; Emi Buendia, Morgan Rogers, Donyell Malen; Ollie Watkins.

Despite Emi Martinez’s transfer falling through and him now staying at Villa Park until January at least, it seems Unai Emery has made up his mind on the Argentine, almost confirming Bizot as his number one in his press conference before the international break. Therefore, we expect a similar backline, with Konsa partnering Mings in the central defence.

Changes around the midfield area have been required over these past couple matches due to injuries to both Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara. Andres Garcia and Ross Barkley are also doubts for the trip to Merseyside.

Everton vs Aston Villa Current League Standings

There have been three matches played so far in the Premier League this season; Everton have started the campaign strongly, bouncing back from an opening day defeat to Leeds, by acquiring six important points against Brighton and Wolves to put them in the top five.

As for the Villains, it has been a very troublesome start to the season. Emery’s side have only won more points than rivals Wolves. A draw on the opening day versus Newcastle seemed like a good point overall, however, losses to both Brentford and Crystal Palace have left them with a steep hill to climb, especially with them having to enter Europe and the EFL Cup in the coming weeks.

Best Everton vs Aston Villa Betting Tips

Football Park’s Best Bet: Aston Villa to Win @ 2.8 - Recent form suggests confidence in a Villa victory. We have leant more on head-to-head records for this fixture.

Key Players to Watch: Everton vs Aston Villa

Jack Grealish (Everton): Against Wolves, Grealish made a bit of club history in just his third match as an Evertonian as he became their first player to register 2+ assists in consecutive Premier League matches. He has certainly hit the ground running in Liverpool, and he will hope his career will continue to be redeemed at Everton for the rest of this season.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton): Another summer signing for Everton, KDH was a bit of an outcast at Chelsea last season, but he is coming into his own for Everton already, registering a goal and assist for his new club in just three games.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa): With Villa still not having scored a goal this season, they will need their forward to step up on Saturday. Watkins has scored three goals in his last two games against Everton, and his services will be required if Villa are to earn their first win of the season.
