Premier League 2023: Everton vs Aston Villa – Preview and Updates

Football

Everton is having a bad season. They are only one point clear of the drop zone. Even so, things are changing, as Everton has won two of its last three games. They defeated Leeds 1-0 at home last weekend. As the home team had more scoring chances, they deserved to win all three points.

Everything changed after Sean Dyche was appointed as Everton’s head coach. They won two out of three games. Furthermore, both victories came at Goodison Park.

Aston Villa had some bad moments this season as well, but they have climbed to a safe mid-table position since head coach Unai Emery was appointed. Nonetheless, Aston Villa have lost their last three games in a row. They were defeated 4-2 at home by Arsenal in their previous match. If we look at the number of scoring chances, the visitors were much better, even though the home team had a positive result until the second half’s stoppage time.

Aston Villa have some defensive issues. They’ve given up 11 goals in their last three games.

Everton vs Aston Villa

Everton (Winning Odds – 2.50):

Team News:

Since Sean Dyche took over as manager of Everton, everything has changed. Six points in three games is an outstanding performance for the relegation candidate. Everton’s approach has changed dramatically since Dyche arrived, particularly in defense.

Nathan Patterson, Andros Townsend, James Garner, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all out with injuries and will not play against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Everton Possible Starting Lineup:

Jordan Pickford, Seamus Coleman, Conor Coady, James Tarkowski, Vitali Mykolenko, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana, Alex Iwobi, Neal Maupay, Dwight McNeil

Aston Villa (Winning Odds – 2.90):

Team News:

Unai Emery, the head coach of Aston Villa, has had a lot to be unhappy about in recent weeks. It appears that 11 goals conceded do not bother him as much as his players do not fully follow the game plan. Emery wants his team to play possession football, whereas Aston Villa has mostly played direct football with long balls in recent games.

In the upcoming league round, Aston Villa will be without Diego Carlos and Jed Steer.

Aston Villa Possible Starting Lineup:

Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Alex Moreno, John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Boubacar Kamara, Coutinho, Emiliano Buendia, Ollie Watkins
